**update**

we are safe for now. I have been in contact with many resources in my hometown but the pool is small. I’ve had a couple people ask what I need money for. You can find a non-exhaustive list towards the bottom of this post. He was financially abusive as well. He made sure everything is in his name, “loaned” me several thousand dollars which he says if I don’t pay back he will evict my sister (he owns the house they live in). Any shares help. What doesn’t help is judgement. I’m doing the best I feasible can and exhausting every single avenue to get out of here safely.

I’m reaching out with an urgent plea to help me and my autistic teenage son escape an unsafe and abusive home. I am in a dire situation and need support to start fresh in a safe and stable environment.

For years we have endured emotional and verbal abuse, but leaving has always been financially impossible. I have been doing everything in my power to protect my son, but without resources, my options are limited. Elias is a bright and wonderful teenager and he faces unique challenges. The stress of our current living situation has made his life even harder. He deserves a peaceful, supportive home where he can truly thrive.

This fundraiser will help cover:

Emergency relocation costs

Legal and safety expenses

Basic necessities like food and clothing

Therapy

Any amount helps, and if you can’t donate, please share this with others.No one should have to live in fear and together, I’m hoping to find safety and a fresh start. I want to believe there’s hope in our future and asking for help is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.
