Please Help Me Out of Domestic Abuse and Homelessness
Donation protected
I've been kidnapped as a child for three years. Beaten and tortured daily and slept tied up at night. I had Stockholm syndrome by the time I was rescued. I've been homeless and lived in shelters. Lost my parents young. I don't know anyone else in my family. I've had it rough seemed like I went from bad situation to worse for quite some time.
Eventually, I met a man. We began to date. He got me a job where he worked. It got serious fast. I thought it was love I felt safe and happy. When I moved in with him things quickly changed. He started controlling where I went, and who I spent time with. Didn't want me to go anywhere without him or he'd drop me off and pick me up everywhere I went to keep track of me. He began acting suspicious of me He didn’t like me hanging out with anyone. I would even invite him along, but he just didn't like it. He would grab my arms so hard he'd leave bruises on them at first or he'd twist my arm high up behind my back hurting me and later swear it wouldn’t happen again, but it did and it became worse. I found out he’d been unfaithful again and told him I was done. This began his rage while he reminded me I had nothing, no one, and nowhere to go and put his hands on me for the last time. He may be right that I have nothing, but I can't continue to stay with him. If the landlord hadn't heard the commotion of me being slammed around and punched and us screaming I'm not sure what would have happened that night. Now I have nowhere to go the shelters are full. I have nothing to eat, no money, nothing in my name except a concussion and a busted face. Sleeping on a bus bench and charging my phone at Starbucks as I use their WiFi.
The money will help get me to go to a couple of doctor appointments. Find a place to stay far from where I lived and worked with him find a job and get back on my feet. Anything helps $20, $10 even a few dollars goes a LONG way
