My name is Angel, and I’m fighting for my life, my freedom, and my future. I’m escaping an abusive relationship while battling homelessness, urgent legal struggles, and serious health challenges. I’m determined to rise above these hardships—and with your support, I can rebuild and create a safe, stable future for my daughter and me.

I hope this message finds you well. It is with a humble heart that I reach out for your support as I navigate one of the most challenging periods of my life. I am currently in a very abusive relationship that has drained me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, one that I am desperately trying to leave.

In addition to the emotional toll, my husband not only abandoned me through divorce but is now threatening my immigration status, further compounding the physical and psychological strain. This means I will need to hire a lawyer to fight my case, protect myself in the divorce, and secure my immigration status, as immigration has already warned us that they are monitoring our situation.

The stress of abuse, homelessness, and fear has taken a devastating toll on my health. I live with severe hypertension, chronic kidney disease and lupus, and I recently underwent a kidney biopsy. I collapsed and was hospitalized with dangerously high blood pressure, and doctors have now confirmed heart failure with swelling around my heart. I have also been battling severe depression brought on by prolonged trauma and instability. I am in active medical care and fighting every day just to stay alive.

Despite my condition, my husband has now served me with eviction court papers, adding even more instability during a medical crisis. He has also made terrifying threats, including threatening to call ICE on me and my daughter, using fear and intimidation to keep us vulnerable and silent. These threats have caused tremendous emotional and mental distress and have put both my child and me in a constant state of fear for our safety and our future.

I am humbly asking for urgent help to survive this moment in my life. Any contribution, no matter how small, would go a long way in helping me.

Your support will help me:

• Secure safe and stable housing

• Continue critical medical treatment

• Obtain legal protection for my immigration and divorce cases

• Protect my daughter from harm and displacement

Even if you are unable to give, simply sharing my story with others would mean the world to me.

This is not easy to share, but I have no choice. I am doing everything I can to stay alive, stay strong, and protect my child, but I cannot do this alone.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my story and for any help you can offer. I am incredibly grateful for your generosity, kindness, and any support you can provide as I work to rebuild my life.

With gratitude,

Angel
