Please help a family who is in a desparate situation, trying to free themselves from an unstable environment.
The abuse is intense, and the anguish caused by the many years of abuse is extreme and far-reaching. The family's quality of life is poor and will continue to be poor for as long as the status quo continues.
They need financial assistance to find safe options and no longer feel trapped in a household of abuse, shame, embarrassment, and trauma. By contributing toward basic necessities and temporary living expenses, you will help uphold this heroic mother’s dignity, standing beside her as she fights to regain her personal worth and show her children they are valued and they matter.
The psychological, financial, verbal, and emotional abuse they are experiencing is horrifying.
The abuse has intensified over the past year, and particularly over the past month, and their situation is urgent. The stories the mother has shared are terrifying – no one should be put through this level of torture and total heartache. To protect her and her children, details cannot be shared with the general public. Know that we would not be asking for help if the situation were not so dire and their need so great.
They have exhausted all other options.
They are now relying on the goodness of strangers and acquaintances who can help them get into a better situation where they can *breathe* and begin to start anew. They will be starting over with almost nothing. Your generosity now, and in the next few months, will allow them to achieve independence, fulfill their potential, and rediscover life's simple joys.
What they are seeking:
--Any monetary help is appreciated, and the family will keep all donors in their prayers.
--Ideally, donors will commit to giving on a monthly basis. (On the donation page where you enter your payment information, near the top, you can select "single donation" or "monthly subscription." If you choose "monthly subscription," you must also select "# of months." Your help is greatly appreciated.)
--Over the next 6 months, if 25-30 families can commit to a monthly gift of $100, this will allow the family to cover most of their basic necessities, and begin to lay down plans for their future (ie, seek employment.) Of course, all support is greatly appreciated, even if it is a one-time gift, or even if the gift is less than $100.
Your financial support is much appreciated. Your prayers for this family – for safety, for employment, and for good health – are also welcome and very needed. Please keep them in prayer as they attempt to transition through a very difficult period, to a more stable and healthy life.
Thank you for your gift and your prayers, and may God bless you for your generosity.
