Starting Over After Escaping Abuse. Help Us Rebuild safely

Hi, my name is Katie, and I never imagined I’d be in this position …writing this from a place of both heartbreak and hope.

Recently, I made the difficult but life-saving decision to leave an abusive relationship, and I’m now starting over with my children. We are currently homeless, moving from place to place, trying to find stability and safety after years of fear and uncertainty.

This journey has been terrifying, but also empowering. For the first time in a long time, I am free , and I’m determined to rebuild a life where my children can feel safe, loved, and secure. Right now, we are in urgent need of support to secure a new place to live. I’ve found a potential apartment, but I need help covering the security deposit and basic furnishings so my children and I can begin again with dignity. I’m reaching out to you, family, friends, and kind strangers ; because I believe in the power of community. I believe that people care, even when life feels overwhelming. Every dollar will go directly toward:

• Security deposit and first month’s rent

• Beds and furniture for the kids

• Basic household needs like cookware, towels, and cleaning supplies

I am actively working, attending school, and doing everything I can to build a stable future for us. But right now, I can’t do it alone.

Please consider donating, sharing, or simply sending encouragement. It all means more than you know.

From the bottom of my heart , thank you for seeing us, for caring, and for being part of our journey to healing and home.

With so much gratitude,

Katie
