Help A Mom Escape Domestic and Sexual Violence

I am a black woman in America. I am a person of color. I am an American. I am a human being. I am married. I am being abused in that marriage. I am a human being. I am probably going to die in this marriage.  I get looked at with skepticism when I visit agencies for help.   I am afraid.  I am saddened that I can not afford to just flee.  I can walk out. I cannot walk far enough to get away from my abuser. You do not know me You owe me nothing. You have your own problems. You have your own life. You may care and want to help. You may doubt me. You are a human being. If you are at all able to help in any way, even to take a chance and send 1 dollar please do so and thank you if you can and did. --An American woman.
