Hello everyone, my name is Dakota. Many of you might know me; close friends and family might know my family life over the years.

My beautiful mother has gone through one of the worst things: an abusive relationship. Recently, it has come to light that he cheated on my mom and left her and my little brother without anything.

My mom is sick and can't work. She has now built the courage to get up and leave, but all five of us kids can't afford to help the way we wish we could. If you guys can help with even just sharing, that would mean the world to us. Thank you for anything and even taking the time to read this story.
