Z's Story:

Z has been in an abusive marriage for a very long time—29 years, in fact. During that time, they’ve spent an enormous amount of their energy hiding this abuse from friends and community members in fear of what might happen to them and their children if they left their husband - who controlled all the finances, among other facets of their life together.

UNTIL NOW. In mid-February, this courageous person mustered up the strength to say NO MORE. After a recent week of daily verbal and physical assault, they asked their husband why he was so mean to them. His response? “Because it’s the only way you’ll listen.” These were the words that Z needed to hear to WAKE UP and LEAVE. They shared their story with a few trusted friends and found their way to a safe place far away from their abuser with their youngest adult child, Alex. From then on, they have chosen every day to wake up and keep moving forward with protective orders, divorce, and all around REBUILDING THEIR LIFE. This process has not been easy, and every moment is taxing. But they are DOING IT.

At this point, they need money to retain a lawyer in order to see through this process until they and their youngest adult child are fully safe with a system in place, so they are able to move on creating a life from love and joy rather than fear, control, and abuse. They need help to bring their kitties, Fang and Smudge, to wherever their new home will be. This beautiful human being has exhausted all options from friends and family. They need help from the community they have so graciously showered with love, kindness, and generosity.

How the Funds Will Be Used:

• Legal fees for divorce proceedings and protective orders

• Counseling and therapy sessions for trauma recovery

• Housing costs for securing a safe and stable living environment

• Basic living expenses such as food, utilities, and transportation

Your support can truly change Z's life. Please donate, share this campaign with your network, and let's make a difference together.

Thank you for standing with Z on their journey to freedom and healing.
