Please Help My Friend Silver

I don’t usually do this. I don’t ask for help from strangers on the internet. But I don’t know what else to do.

My best friend, Silver, is in danger.

She’s been living in a nightmare for years—her mother abuses her, and her father turns a blind eye. She never talks about it much, but I see the bruises. I hear the cracks in her voice when she says, “I’m fine.”

But she’s not fine.

Lately, it’s gotten worse. The bruises don’t fade before new ones appear. She barely eats. She barely sleeps. And worst of all, she’s starting to believe the things her mother says. That she’s worthless. That no one would care if she was gone.

I care.

I know some of you might think, why doesn’t she just leave? But where would she go? She has no money, no family who will take her in. And I can only do so much—I’m just a kid too.

That’s why I’m here. Asking for help. Begging for it.

Silver needs a way out, but she can’t do it alone. If anyone reading this can spare something—anything—to help her escape, please, I swear to you, it will save her life.

She doesn’t deserve this. No one does.

Please. Help me save Silver.
