Hi everyone,


I know you get a lot of emails and requests for money every day. The reason I’m posting this is to help a friend of mine who is currently in a highly abusive situation and would like to get out. She can’t post this herself because if her abuser finds out, her life is in serious danger. So, as her friend, I knew the least I could do would be to share her story and her plea for money. The story below is somewhat sparse on specific details to protect her identity. That said, it IS a genuine story from a dear friend and someone who I would love to know has safely extricated herself from a harmful situation. So, I’m asking you to spare a few minutes of your day and a few (or more!) dollars from your wallet to help her out. She deserves the opportunity to restart her life away from this man.

Her story:

I'm a victim of domestic violence, and I’ve learned there’s nowhere to turn. With your help, I can avoid being a casualty.

Like most women, I never thought I would be here. Yet I am, living with physical, emotional and sexual abuse, worrying if each day will be my last.


It started slowly. The first time he hit me, I wrote it off as a mistake. The next time, I blamed myself. Then, I declared it would be the “last time.” It wasn’t. After a while, I stopped bothering to make excuses. The abuse started to feel normal. Recently, things have gotten worse, bad enough that I realize I need to run or I will die this way.


This campaign is to help me get the resources I need to leave quickly and safely, with a goal of raising funds by February 10, 2015.
