Help a Family Rebuild After Trauma

With ultimate sadness and heartbreak, I am trying to get through a traumatic time in the lives of my children and myself. This week, I learned that my husband has been committing sex crimes against my daughter. Due to the ongoing investigation, I cannot disclose much detail. I will say that this has been happening since she was 11 years old. It is extremely difficult to process as the uprooting of our lives rips us into pieces. It is all unfortunate, and even more intense having to deal with all the pressures that come with seeking justice. This is her senior year.

At a time when things should be exciting and focused on her near future, she is having to relive 7 long years of abuse. This predator was supposed to be her dad/step-dad. He was supposed to be someone our entire household could count on and trust. We are in shambles and we have nothing! Although I am employed, I have been furloughed every 2 weeks since July of this year due to budget restraints. Therefore, my income has been cut in half for the last 3 months. Even if it weren't, I cannot sustain on my income alone regardless. He was the breadwinner and I in no way can maintain in my current residence. I will need to relocate and purchase a new vehicle. Everything we have is owned by him and/or in his name. At this present time, I only have temporary access to the home we shared and the vehicle he gifted me. However, this will only be contingent on whether I can make the monthly notes on them before an eviction and repossession take place. With senior expenses knocking on my back and trying to maneuver through this bomb, I am at a hard place. All I can think about is how am I going to provide all the basic needs of my babies and protect them too!? I fear retaliation from my husband and I need to get into my own home and my own vehicle as soon as possible, but I don't have the means/resources. Not only that, but I also need money for basic utilities, food, gas, and bills that must be paid for me to maintain until I'm in something more sustainable.

I am desperately asking anyone out there in this cruel world who still has a heart to help cover me and my babies. I don't have many family or friends that are able to assist us. This man was all I've known for 9.5 years. Please, I am begging for assistance no matter how large or small. I thank you in advance for whatever you can give and please share with others. If you find it in your heart to be a village and bridge for us during this time, again I thank you and God bless!
