Help Randi and her son move on from abusive control.
Randi is a devoted mother who has been worn down by abuse and control. Their current situation has been ongoing emotional and physical abuse, manipulation, gaslighting... Relocating is the best path forward to create distance, so that she can create more stability for herself and Owen without abusive interference.
Her ex has used various tactics to keep her from moving forward... harassment, threats, physical harm, gaslighting, and even sabotaging her job by impersonating a tenant when contacting the company's CEO for the apartments she was managing. This has left Randi and Owen strained and in a constant state of stress. Relocating far away is not only a necessity for their safety but also for their emotional recovery and stability.
What She Needs Help With
Breaking free is more difficult than people realize, especially when someone manipulates, threatens, and uses blackmail to remain in control. Randi knows what needs to be done but just needs some help from family, friends, and the community at large to get her free and on a better path.
The funds raised will help cover:
- Moving Expenses: Packing and transporting their belongings to a safer, more stable location.
- Childcare Costs: Providing Owen with daycare so Randi can focus on reestablishing financial stability.
- Travel Expenses: Covering the costs of moving far enough to eliminate her former partner’s ability to interfere or maintain control.
- Fuel, servicing the car in advance of making a long trip, and a few nights in a hotel.
- Possible legal fees will also be incurred to protect against retaliatory actions taken as an attempt to prevent her from gaining independence and breaking free.
Why This Matters
Randi’s former partner has demonstrated a pattern of control, including physical intimidation and threats of violence, which has on one occasion broken two of Randi's ribs and caused a hematoma on her liver beneath her ribs. His actions have caused financial instability, emotional distress, and an unsafe environment. Despite these challenges, Randi is committed to providing a brighter and happier future for Owen by relocating to a place where they can rebuild and recover.
This move will provide:
- Distance from the ongoing risks posed by her former partner’s behavior.
- Proximity to supportive family members who can help with emotional support.
- New opportunities for financial independence and a stable home for Owen.
- Randi has taken the first steps, but she cannot do it alone.
