This is my beautiful little girl, and right now, I'm doing everything I can to rebuild our lives.

I escaped an abusive relationship in February of 2025. We lost everything in the process - my job, our house, most of our belongings, our sense of peace and safety.

Since then, things have only gotten harder: my car broke down. Since I didn't have the funds to repair it, the police impounded it for being on the street too long. I’ve been unable to find stable work due to not having a vehicle and having to homeschool my daughter. We’re currently in an unsafe, unstable situation.

My abuser may be released soon, and I’m trying to keep my daughter safe while working to rebuild our lives literally from the ground up.

I urgently need help with:

*Why so urgent?*

Well, I've explained a bit more about our situation in my updates. But the current danger is my mother. She filed false reports to DCF about me in October 2025 - her feeble but malicious attempt at regaining control over us. This unsubstantiated case was closed on 12/25/2025. However, she will try something else, something worse.

Since I went no contact with her in March of 2023, she has consistently, relentlessly been harassing and stalking me and my daughter. When she knew my address (before we were evicted), it was awful. I found a new (temporary) place to stay, but somehow she found us again.

My mother has Narcissistic AND Borderline Personality Disorders, as well as OCD Personality Disorder. I cannot adequately convey the danger a person with these mental health conditions poses to me and my daughter. There are reasons I went no contact and had to flee from her presence. And now there's more reasons, much more urgent reasons, for my need to escape from CT.

This is all in addition to my toxic ex who literally tried to force his way back in when I tried to end our relationship. The only reason he didn't come back a second time (while knowing he had a warrant out for his arrest for the first break in attempt) was because he was arrested before he could.

I don't know how to properly explain our needs without sounding like I'm asking for pity... and it bothers me that I have to ask anyone for help, especially as financial support. If you don't know me, just know I'm not lazy or weak - I'm highly educated and normally extremely hard working.

By telling you our story, I'm trying to convey the danger and constant threat we are in every second we stay in CT and to explain why I'm struggling so much to "get back in the saddle." I'm doing my best to function and maintain calm and stability for my daughter through this time - but it's difficult. Right now, I can barely manage the normal, every day tasks of raising and educating my child. I just need a stable, safe space to recover. I need space and time to breathe.

Once I find safety, it won't be long before I back on my feet. But the constant stress, chaos, and fear are beyond draining. I'm also dealing with chronic health issues, as I have struggled with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Fibromyalgia since I was 14 years old. This, in addition to my neurodivergence (professionally diagnosed ADHD - combined type 2 & self-diagnosed Autism) amplify even normal, every day stresses.

My nervous system has been on fire for years and I'm losing hope, faith, and my ability to function daily. I've all but given up on life. I try my best to stay positive and keep going. But it's taking a massive toll on me. That's why I'm asking for financial help. The money will get us out of this place and somewhere safe. I've never known "home," not really. And I just know once we are safe, I'll be able to get back to work and start being the super-star mama my baby girl needs me to be.

Every dollar you give goes directly toward our safety and stability. I’ll share updates and receipts so you can see the real impact your support makes.

I also want to add that I'm open to receiving alternative forms of assistance. If you know of re-housing services, someone who can help with my vehicle, or anything else you think might help us out, please feel free to share. You can contact me via email - it should be listed on my profile.

If donating isn't an option for you, sharing this story helps us so, so much. Especially if you know us personally, and you know what we've been going through - please share our story. You never know who might see it. Knowing people care enough to tell others our story means more than money ever could.

I love you all.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for helping me give my daughter the new, safe, & secure life she deserves.
