I lived in a marriage that was domestically violent. He set out to break me in more ways than one. But, I'm a Believer that knows God's design for marriage wasn't that. I am striving to get my freedoms back.

For years and years, I lived with, then married, and endured domestic violence in a marriage. I was not brought up in a home experiencing a man putting his hands on a woman. Gaslighting, undermining, and coercive control were not the family dynamic I had as a child. Why then, God, was this happening to me? I now know why. I was meant to endure what I have to be able to be a testimony for women with children who need a sign of hope. God knows he's given me a voice. He knows I stand up for what I believe in; and THAT'S who I've been even as a young child. I will speak up for the underdog. I will be the wind beneath the wings of the broken down and the broken-hearted. I'll help the oppressed find a better way. I'll help them seek refuge as I've done for myself and my children. I help them navigate this world of finding a job after being a stay-at-home-Mom. I'll guide them with resources for counseling for them and for their children.
I am navigating these waters now and know it is a part of my life's mission to help these women - these survivors - find a better way. They need a sign that they too can get out of domestically violent situations. My testimony is validation to them that: it's not their fault, they're not crazy, and they deserve safety, security, and love.
My former abuser and I have 3 daughters. He has yet to pay the child support his children deserve. Children do not deserve to go without. We all know that single Mothers' incomes don't match that of our male counterparts. "...median family income of married-couple families with children was about $101,560 in 2021, whereas their single-father counterparts had median total family income of $50,942 and single-mother counterparts had just $32,586 (U.S. Census Bureau 2021 and here)."
Your help is needed; not only for me and my children, but for thousands of women across this nation. To start, my goal is to help 10 women and their children secure a safe apartment or home by paying their initial deposit and 1st month's rent to give them time to get their footing on rebuilding a new life.
Your support will also help me be able to provide my time and resources to these women as I help them navigate getting employment, counseling, schooling for their children, legal fees, clothing, food, transportation, and all of the facets necessary to rebuild a new life outside of domestic violence.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and for your support on this mission.
