🌟👨‍👩‍👧‍👦✨ my world shattered...

When the Christmas pies and pre-made mashed potatoes for dinner on Christmas day was all over the floor . Michael decided that wrapping gift at 3 am was uncalled for and so my body was slammed onto all of what was on the table

It was a crisp winter when I found myself at a cross roads. do i leave and destroy Christmas for my boys or do i just grin and bear it ? This was the hardest decision of my life, and regardless i knew that Tthis was the time to do what I needed to do. My heart raced as I read text messages on my phone, my brother saying im gunna get that m*****f****** , come to my house now.

domestic violence was not just something happening to someone else; it could happen to anyone, including me.

🚫 The reality hit hard, shaking the foundation of everything I thought I knew about love and safety. It wasn't a fairy tale ending but one where fear became my constant companion. Yet amidst this darkness, hope flickered like a candle in the wind, my boys my sweet baby boys and the smile on their faces it was the light that gave me strength to stand up straight, even when every step felt heavy with uncertainty.

My name is Amanda and I am trying to start over at 43 years old after escaping a 20-year long abusive relationship. But it's not just about moving on for myself; it’s about rebuilding my life so that I can show my three beautiful boys what love should truly feel like—a safe embrace instead of the tight fist around their necks.

💔 The struggle is real and raw, with every day bringing new challenges as I fight to get full custody of my sons from a judge that is so completely biased aginst mothers (he has 4 diffrent lawsuits against him for it ) and not to mention the system riddled with red tape and cold indifference towards women like me fighting for justice and safety within our own families. It’s about carving out hope in the chaos—a place where laughter isn't just possible but probable again.

And it is here, amidst this storm I never asked to be part of, that you come into my story. Your presence gives life back its color after months under a gray sky; your support brings warmth and light during winter nights spent alone in the cold. Each donation, each kind word, every share of our campaign—it all breathes hope into existence for us as we navigate this new chapter together.

🤝 I invite you to join me on this journey towards healing and wholeness. Let's turn pain into purpose by standing with a family that needs more than just love but also protection from the winds of adversity. Every dollar counts, every share matters—we are stronger together!

Thank you for being part of our story, helping rewrite endings to what my boys think love should look like ,not stories marred by fear and doubt. Together, let’s show what true resilience looks like: it's not about surviving; it’s thriving in the face of adversity with dignity intact. ❤️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦✊I beg you I'm trying my hardest
