Bailey Rogers

My mom, my baby sister, and I are currently living with my aunt and uncle, but the household is very toxic and unsafe. My uncle is the problem, but my aunt just lets it happen and won't get a divorce even after everything he's done. He yells in my face, threatens to beat me up, hits me hard enough to leave bruises, and calls me names like 'whore' and 'retarded.' He calls my past and my scars stupid, lays hands on my aunt, screams at everyone, and refuses to get a job because he uses my aunt for her money. I can't do anything because my aunt barely does anything or doesn't do anything at all. He calls my autistic brother stupid when he comes over on weekends, and my baby sister too. He's very bipolar—one second he's nice, and the next he's screaming. Every day feels uncertain, and we have nowhere else to go because of financial struggles. I want to do everything I can to help my family move out and find a safer place to live, but it's hard to save up enough money on our own. The funds raised here will go directly toward moving costs and rent for a new home. This support will help us start fresh in a safe environment, away from the stress and danger we've been facing. Your kindness could make all the difference for us as we try to build a better future. I don't ask for much—my biggest hope is to keep myself and my family safe. Even a dollar is a long shot, and we would love and appreciate anything donated to help us. Thank you so much for all of your help and support.
