Fund Family's Journey to Safety

TW: Mention of DV, MMIW2S

From mom: "Hi we are a large family of 6 having to relocate asap due to dv and for medical treatment.

I am a dv survivor. My abuser abducted me and my children years ago. It took a couple years to get away and I was awarded a non expiring order of protection.

I moved thousands of miles away after he escalated things and had to be arrested.

He has since repeatedly broken the restraining order. I continue to ignore attempts at getting me to interact and invalidate the order. He has recently escalated and is attempting contact or violating the order in some way weekly to monthly including threatening us by sending pictures of himself with weapons. I need to move to a state that has an address confidentiality program so that I can file his violations without fear of my address being leaked in such a rural and small county that we used to reside and he currently lives in. This has happened there before, and those DV victims had their info leaked to press.

As we travel there is a hospital that I can get much needed treatment at for many of my conditions that are rare/genetic. My children can also be screened. Our possible relocation destinations are all rural so this is important before making the choice of where we put down roots and find accessible housing for our family"

We trying to raise $8000 to help our family out.

$3000 for gas, food, supplies, camping fees

$3000 for accessible housing for family of 6 (ramp to door, first floor bedroom, bath, living and kitchen able to be accessed by wheelchair)

$900 for getting van road trip worthy and emergency repair fund

$800 for gofundme fees and other transfer fees

$300 for misc medical costs

**Kept vague to protect identity of survivors. Mom is a MMIW2S survivor who has had to legally change their name. There are 6 in the household. Mom, mom 2 co-parent/partner, medium/high support needs autistic young adult still at home, and 3 children between tween to infant in ages. All are neurodivergent, trans and indigenous - except mom 2 is not indigenous though she is also neurodivergent and trans.
