Morgan

Hi, my name is Morgan. Writing this is incredibly hard, but I am doing so because I am in a situation I cannot escape without help. I am currently trying to leave a domestic violence situation. Staying is no longer safe for my emotional or physical well-being. I am also a mother, and my priority is making sure I can protect and take care of myself and my young daughter as we move toward safety and stability. Leaving requires legal support that I simply cannot afford on my own. I feel trapped. I’ve done everything I can to survive quietly, plan carefully, and protect us — but without a lawyer, I cannot take the steps needed to safely get out. The legal process is overwhelming, and the cost of an attorney is the biggest barrier standing between us and freedom. I am asking for help to cover: • An attorney retainer • Legal fees required to protect myself and my child • Costs associated with safely separating and rebuilding Your generosity will allow me to retain legal counsel and begin the process of leaving safely while ensuring I can care for my daughter during this transition. Asking for help like this is not something I ever imagined I would do. But right now, I am in a helpless position, and I am doing everything I can to create a safer, healthier future for both of us. If you can donate, share, or simply take the time to read this, I am deeply grateful. Your support could truly change — and possibly save — our lives. Thank you for believing me and for helping us take the first step toward safety. — Morgan
