Repair our home & support our family after trauma
Donation protected
Our family has recently been traumatized by a mental health crisis with my husband and partner of 21 years and father of Otis and Cali. We have been dealing with his increasing mental instability leading to a series of alleged crimes, violent and mentally abusive behaviors, child endangerment, sabotage of our business and income, mounting legal fees and repairs to the house and vehicles. The past 2 months have been a super challenging time for all of us and culminated in a very public police standoff at our house.
During the worst of the trauma, he kicked me out of the house, harassed and tormented me continuously and destroyed the car that Otis and I were sharing, despite having an RFA order. We currently have a vehicle, but both of us work and are often needing to be in different places at the same time begging rides from friends.
We are looking for help to repair all the physical damage and pay expenses until I can rebuild the business and get back to earning a living wage.
We thank you from the bottoms of our hearts for considering helping us to recover mentally by helping us physically. ❤️
