We are raising funds for our dear friend who is escaping an abusive situation and is struggling to pay rent, utilities, and groceries for herself and five children.

It’s been nearly five years of separation, with the last 2.5 years of heated litigation and continued abuse through the legal system.

Due to ongoing legal proceedings and significant financial disparity, she is presently facing severe financial hardship and struggling to make ends meet while also navigating the divorce on her own. She has exhausted all of her resources and is in need of support to get across the finish line of the divorce.

She is committed to working toward financial independence and rebuilding their lives. Any support during this transitional period would make an enormous difference for her and her five children.

**Current Situation:**

- Fighting for fair custody arrangements and financial support for her five children

- Representing herself pro se (without an attorney) due to depleted resources

- Struggling to cover basic necessities: rent, utilities, and groceries

- Working toward resolution through the court system while prioritizing her children's stability

**What They Need:**

Your support would help her immediate basic needs while she continues to navigate this legal process:

- Monthly rent and utilities to keep their home stable

- Groceries and household essentials for her five children

- Transportation costs for court appearances and her children's school/camp/activities

**Our Goal:**

To maintain housing stability and meet her family's basic needs while she works through the legal system to establish fair, long-term arrangements that protect her children's future.

She is committed to working toward independence and rebuilding their lives. Any support during this transitional period would make an enormous difference for her and her five children.

Thank you for considering helping her family during this challenging time.

We are unable share her name or clear images of her children due to concerns that her husband and his attorneys will use it against her.

*All donations will go directly toward housing, utilities, and essential family needs.*
