Battered But Not Broken

Hello, friends. I'm sorry to post such a terrible story at a time when all of us are trying desperately to be more happy in our lives, but...I'm desperate.

We have a mutual friend, who will not be named publicly, that needs our help IMMEDIATELY. Her and her family are in danger. I will happily inform you of any details you need, so long as you are actually intending on donating or trying to help Jeremy and I resolve this issue once and for all.

This friend has fallen into one of the shittiest situations that can ever befall a mother: she was tricked into moving in with an abuser. We all know the story: he was sweet for the first eight months, when he knew that she was independent enough to leave him at the first sight of any manipulation or abuse. He talked her into moving herself and her four children in with him, because he was playing the part well: he was interested in her, interested in her children, was financially stable, and had a place that was better suited for such a large family than the one she could afford on her solitary wage.

And as soon as he knew that she couldn't get away easily, he changed. He became verbally and sexually abusive, bullying her into doing things that she did not want to do, or bullying her out of doing things that she did want to do. She started saving up money to get away, but only has $400.00 raised, and that's not nearly enough.

On 1/19/18, this fucking monster of a man physically attacked both her and her oldest daughter. He was arrested for simple battery family violence and is still in jail, but is scheduled to have the money together to post bail on Friday or Monday. She wants to be GONE by then.

Jeremy Boynton and I have found a camper that is large enough for her and her family, and another friend has offered up part of their land to put the camper on for the foreseeable future. The camper is being sold to us at a 50% discount given the circumstances, but we still need $1,500.

Please help me help this beautiful woman. If you don't know who I'm talking about, but knowing would convince you to help me, please private message me. I am trading ALL of my skills for donations to this campaign, including:

- Computer repair- Essay writing- Private, in-home meal preparation- Cooking lessons- Proof-reading and editing- Massage therapy (feet, legs, back)- Incredibly hilarious conversations

I will bake, write, read, or fight my way to ensuring that this beautiful woman can get herself and her family to safety.
