I’m creating this GoFundMe for a close friend and her daughter, who are living through something no family should ever have to face. Many of you have already seen their story circulating online, it’s been overwhelming, heartbreaking, and very real. While I can’t share their names for safety reasons, what happened is verifiable, and those who’ve seen the news know exactly what this family is going through.

My friend’s husband, someone many people in the home-gym community recognize, harmed their daughter. He was arrested and is now in jail. The details have spread far beyond anything any of us could have imagined, and while the support has been incredible, the reality behind the headlines is even harder.

My friend is now doing everything alone. She has to move, protect her daughter, handle the divorce, secure legal help, and create a stable place for them to heal. Overnight, her whole world collapsed, and she’s trying to hold it together while supporting a child who experienced unimaginable trauma.

She’s just a mom trying to keep her daughter safe, loved, and cared fo.

I’m raising funds on her behalf because she can’t do this alone. Every donation goes directly toward relocating them to safety, legal fees, therapy, and basic necessities as they rebuild their lives from scratch.

If you’ve seen their story online, please know the people behind it are real, hurting, and trying their best to survive this nightmare. Thank you for supporting them, sharing this, and showing them they’re not alone.
