Support Julia's Fight for Justice and Family

Hello, I am Julia. I have been a wife and mother for a majority of my adult life. I am raising money to fight for my right to continue to provide the best life possible for my family. I need to defend myself in court. My husband has filed a restraining order against me and he is trying to make it permanent. The incident was self-defense. A few people overheard the verbal and physical altercation. My brother was on speaker listening. He was en route to my home when my husband gained possession of my phone and disconnected the call. My son heard the altercation and me yelling for someone to call for help. He called his uncle, not the police. It hurt his heart that the police did not allow him to speak to what happened. My husband reported that I started a verbal fight over politics and because he would not engage and walked away, I simultaneously tripped and landed on the floor but also chased him into another room and was hitting him. None of the report is logical. However, he also said I punched my daughter in the face. I would never punch anyone, especially my child. He had my medical IV port in his hand and was pressing it into my collarbone. He had a finger in my eye. I was trying to grab my phone. My daughter had her arms around my legs trying to separate us. I was struggling for my life while trying to get loose from her to get out. I got free from him and ran outside. I collapsed in the front yard and cried. My brother arrived less than 1 minute later from the neighboring state. The local police were a few minutes after that. I didn't wish to report domestic violence; however, my husband took the other path. I spent the night in jail. I cannot go home. He has my car, my home, my pets, and my children! The woman who was a friend and who I helped when she had nothing is now using my misfortune to profit. She and her children are in my home watching my children during my parents' time while he lies to my children about the situation. I just want to give my kids a good life. I gave my life to my family, including donating my kidney in exchange for my husband to have a transplant. I am permanently disabled as a result. Twice a week in medical infusion for life, chronic illness for life. For this, I got jail. He has emptied all the bank accounts against the judge's ruling that I can use it too. He was told he is only entitled to half. There is $57 in checking and $0 in savings. I cannot even make my copay for medical appointments. I just want my kids and to find a way/place to live. He is a cross-country trucker and I am homeless. I have lost 120 lbs, no longer have a uterus, most of my stomach, and my left kidney all for my husband. Now he stole my life too.
