Help with domestic violence

This is with a heavy heart I have to address this. I'm not proud to ask for help, but I'm afraid if I don't I will not be able to get the protection for myself or my children. On November 3rd I was a victim of domestic abuse. I was struck in the head, pulled by my arms, bruises on my legs and tried to get shoved into a closet. For an hour I tried to reach emergency services to no avail because my phone was taken and hid from me. I'm embarrassed to say the least and hurt from this persons actions to decide to put his hands on my body and prevent me from getting to safety. I now have to pick up the pieces and rebuild my life. It's not something I expected to happen from someone I trusted. And I'm even more ashamed to ask for help to get a lawyer so I can protect myself. Anything helps, even if it's prayers for the safety of my family.
