Help a Domestic Violence Survivor Escape and Rebuild in Safety.
Hi everyone,
I never imagined I would have to ask for help like this, but right now it’s the only way I can stay safe.
I am a survivor of 15 years of domestic violence. Over the past several months I have been trying to escape my abuser and rebuild my life. Six months ago I relocated hoping to finally get away, but unfortunately my situation became even more dangerous.
On March 7th, 2026 I was attacked and hospitalized. Since then I have been placed in a women’s shelter, but I am only able to stay here for 45 days, and they do not have resources to help with long-term housing or relocation.
I have spent the last several years moving from state to state trying to stay safe. I have now lived in four different states just trying to escape the person who abused me. I am completely out of money and I have nowhere left to go once my shelter stay ends.
For my safety, I need to relocate out of the country so my abuser cannot find me again. The funds I’m trying to raise will go directly toward:
* Travel costs
* Visa and relocation paperwork
* Temporary housing while I get back on my feet
*Housing in new country
My goal is to raise $3,000 which would allow me to leave the country and start over somewhere safe.
I am also disabled and living with a heart condition, which has made surviving this situation even more difficult. Right now this is truly an emergency. I am terrified my abuser will find me again, and I just want the chance to live safely and rebuild my life.
I have included copies of police reports for transparency. Unfortunately, the police have not yet been able to locate my abuser.
If you are able to help in any way, even a small donation would mean the world to me. And if you can’t donate, sharing this page could help me reach someone who can.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for helping me take the first steps toward safety and healing.
With gratitude,
Emily Kathleen
