On January 22, 2023, (ON MY ABUSERS BIRTHDAY) I removed myself and my daughters from a toxic domestic abusive relationship. I don’t know how I allowed this to continue on for so long. I’m disappointed with myself. I wasted five years of my life enduring psychological, physical, emotional, and verbal abuse. I stayed out of fear. Terrified of what he would do to me if I left. I also feared that I would have nowhere to go or anyone to turn to for help. I have nothing to start a new life with. He drained me emotionally and financially. When he physically abused me, I could never understand the reason. My children are mentally and emotionally damaged from this trauma as well. Even though my daughters and I are displaced, we’re finally at peace. I’m proud of myself to finally have the courage to get out before it was too late. I’m asking for your help to assist us financially to get started on our new journey. My plan for the funding is use it for a security deposit and first month rent. I also need to repair my vehicle because that is how I make a living. At the time I was with my abuser, I was using his vehicle to make ends meet. We will also need a few supplies to start with in our new home. I can work on furniture later. The most important thing to me is to have a roof over our head. Thank you for your help! We appreciate everything!
