Need Help leaving Remote Alaska
Donation protected
My name is Angel. I was attacked brutally by my husband, threatened with a gun and told he was going to kill me in vivid details for several hours unable to call out or leave my home or get away. I live in remote Alaska. It was -32F outside with no neighbors. I dialed 911 and hid my phone hoping the Troopers would save me. They couldn’t find my house. A Twitter friend worked with me and them and got them to my house. I placated him for hours overnight waiting in terror. He secretly drank 1/2 bottle of tequila and went psycho. He smashed things screamed chased me hit me threw my things outside and didn’t stop until he finally passed out. The fact that he was drunk saved me he couldn’t catch me kept falling down. It was horrific. At one point he even pulled the wood stove door off sending flames and sparks onto our floor. I wrestled the door back on with him trying to grab it away as he burned himself. He also flew into horrible racist rants and hateful speech about killing everyone. I’ve learned our marriage was not legal he hid the paperwork he filed falsely with mistakes and never fixed. He lied about everything even his sexuality hiding the fact that he was gay. As I discovered these things his abuse slowly escalated to this horrible night.
I need help leaving Alaska. I have a safe place to go but no access to money and my account is bare. He financially wiped me out.
He is currently facing up to 5 years in prison with a charge of Felony Assault DV 3 and earliest release is in 9 days. I need to leave before he is out. I do have a Protective Order but I don’t trust that here alone 100 miles from Troopers.
I have received so much support already and feel bad asking for financial help. It’s so hard to not feel guilty for all my blind love. I appreciate any help!!
Thank you!
