<div>My name is Christy, and for most of my life, I’ve survived what should have broken me.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>As a child, I was abused by the person who was supposed to protect me, my father. That trauma shaped everything I knew about love, safety, and trust. I spent years thinking I was finally free — until, as an adult, I found myself in another abusive relationship that mirrored the same patterns of control, fear, and manipulation.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’ve spent the last few years surviving, fighting for justice, and reclaiming my voice. I now have a restraining order against my abuser and am pressing forward, determined to heal and to speak out for others.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>For the first time in my life, I’m free — but freedom after abuse comes with rebuilding everything from the ground up: safe housing, therapy, legal costs, relocation, and simply time to heal without fear.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’ve started sharing my story of how I survived childhood sexual abuse perpetrated by my father. The response has been overwhelming — messages from survivors saying my words helped them heal parts of their childhood.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I never thought I’d make a GoFundMe, but I’ve learned that asking for help is not weakness — it’s survival. Every donation, share, and kind word helps me move forward into safety, rebuild stability, and continue speaking out to protect others from the same kind of pain I endured.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My goal is to create a new start — a safe place to live, trauma recovery, and the resources to continue advocacy work so no survivor feels alone or silenced again.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in me, for helping me keep going, and for standing beside survivors everywhere.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With love and gratitude,

</div>

<div>Christy

<div>You don’t have to give to help — even sharing this campaign or following my story means the world to me. If you choose to donate, know that you’re helping a survivor turn pain into purpose, and helping others find their way out too.
