Codename: EXODUS

Hi, I’m Gershom, and I am raising money for Exodus. That’s not her real name. I’ll get to that. Presently, just know her anonymity is vital.

What I can tell you:

Exodus is a friend of over 30 years. She has done everything she can to afford her own means, and in 30 years, this is the first time she’s ever made a request of me. She has cancer. And a very narrow window to make it into a Mayo Clinic in Wisconsin. These funds are for the fees associated with her stay and treatment there.

Why “Exodus?” There is an abuser in the story making every effort to shut Exodus down. As I said, Exodus has done all she can for herself to raise money on her own, prior to involving me. What she puts up for sale her abuser reports and flags as a scam, so the site takes the listing down. You can see where this is going. It amounts to being trapped and barred from getting her treatment.

Yes, Exodus has reached out to local law enforcement. She has the sheriff on speed dial. But as long as her abuser’s successful harassment tactics remain remote, there isn’t much the police can do, even if they are informed and ready.

Getting Exodus to Wisconsin to this treatment center is her best hope: she’ll be isolated from her abuser and insulated by an environment totally committed to her health and care.

Please donate. This is a matter where 1% of 100 people does more than 100% of 1 person. 100 of us at $40 each can get Exodus to Wisconsin. Or 200 of us at $20. We’d never even feel it. Please. In 30 years, this has been her only “ask.”

Either way, please share. I know there are people out there who will get Exodus to Wisconsin. Help me find them.
