Single Mom of 3 Escaping Emotional Abuse—Help Us Start Over

From Maria Jimenez

I’m raising money to escape an emotionally abusive relationship and start over with my three kids. I need help covering rent, moving costs, and basic essentials so we can live safely and rebuild our lives.

My name is Maria. I’m a mom of three, and I’m writing this with tears in my eyes and a knot in my throat. I never imagined I’d be in a position to ask strangers for help but here I am because I’m desperate.

I’ve been stuck in an emotionally abusive relationship for years. Every day I put on a brave face for my kids, but the truth is I’m barely holding it together. I’ve cried alone more nights than I can count. I’ve questioned my worth. I’ve had thoughts no mother should ever have. Not because I don’t love my kids God knows I do but because I feel trapped with no way out.

I’m not asking for luxury. I’m not asking for anything more than a chance to breathe, to rebuild, and to give my babies a safe, peaceful place to grow up. A place where they don’t have to see me cry behind closed doors. A place where we can start over without fear hanging over our heads.

What I make isn’t enough to leave. Rent, a deposit, furniture, food—it’s all too much for one person on their own. I’ve stayed longer than I should have because I just don’t have the means to escape. And I’m scared. But I’m also ready. I’m ready to choose peace. I’m ready to fight for my future. I just need help getting there.

If you’ve ever felt broken or hopeless or just wished someone could reach out and help you stand I’m begging you to be that person for me. Every dollar counts. Every bit of support means the world to me. Even if all you can give is love or prayers, thank you for seeing me.

Thank you for helping me take the first real step toward freedom.
