Domestic Violence Survivor in Need of Assistance

From Summer S

Hello! I'm hoping to raise funds for myself after leaving an abusive marriage & experiencing a string of bad luck since. Funds will go towards food, basic bills, purchasing a used car for myself & a charity donation.

More Info

wo years ago, I left an abusive marriage with the clothes on my back, my laptop and my dog after my ex-husband threw me aginst the wall and threatened to kill me in front of 2 of my coworkers watching via a zoom meeting. After 4 years of living in hell and feeling stuck (during Covid), I finally worked up the courage and decided to leave. I called a friend, told her it was time and she was there with the police within 5 minutes to get me. I haven't looked back but the past 2 years have not been easy. I was in a car accident at the beginning of last year in which I wasn't at fault and my car was totaled. I was told by my ex-husband that the car insurance was current but it was not. This was yet another attempt on his part to make my life unbearable in the hopes that I would go back to him. The individual that hit me while I was stopped at a red light did not have insurance either. I have been without a car for about a year and a half now and was about to buy a used vehicle a month ago when the company I had found employment with had a mass layoff which resulted in me losing my job (and the ability to finance a car). I'm now having trouble affording basic necessities like food, utilities and rent. I am actively interviewing for jobs and hope to have something secured in the next few months. I'm grateful for the help and am actively volunteering with domestic violence organizations to help other women leave abusive situations. Thank you!
