Please help me in raising funds for my friend, Deanna to escape an emotionally and financially abusive marriage that recently turned violent. Her husband was booked and released on assault charges just after Christmas. She currently has a protective order against him.

She has been a stay-at-home mom for most of her young, autistic son's life due to his support and therapy needs and has been at the mercy of her husband controlling finances.

Deanna and her son reside in her mother-in-law's house and she is searching for a place to rent for her and her son. This is not an easy feat for any parent on their own, let alone one escaping abuse. Anything you can donate is appreciated and will help them start over.
