A friend, domestic abuse survivor, and member of our community is seeking support to prevent eviction and allow her enough time to begin earning enough money to meet the needs of her two children.
Many people aren't aware of the extra challenges that many domestic abuse survivors face in receiving services. Our friend was advised by people at the agencies who specialize in domestic violence NOT to pursue custody, child support, or services through the court system due to the increased threats to her life by involving her abuser.
She continues to reach out to and dialogue with the experts on this, but currently needs support from our community outside the official channels.
Our friend and community member has a very specific and valuable skill set that she is in the process of organizing into a viable business model. However, she is behind on her rent and facing eviction. Being homeless with two children is going to make it that much harder for her to get on her feet and find her freedom.
This fundraiser is for bare minimum living expenses for 3 months, however it is urgent to raise the first $1700 to prevent eviction within the next few weeks.
In the long run, the system needs to be changed to protect women and children more effectively. For now, let's show this family that their community cares and that they matter to us.
Details about this family need to remain private due to safety concerns, however if I know you I will be happy to share more details privately.
