Violence Tags

Greetings,
I'm a single parent, who fleed from domestic violence- having to quickly store my furniture and children items in florida. I've been making payments up till now, I'm not currently working although I'm deligiantley looking. I have not make my payment of 165.00 per mth for april and may and now june is approaching quickly. Ny belongings are up for auction this 25th of May. I will make june payment if the prior are made or they will not accept it and the late fees will continue and of course i lose everything. I really need my furniture when things pull together for us, and losing them for 500.00 dollars hurts deeply. If there is anyone who can make this payment for me the storage company is cypress self storage acct. 4153, their number is 239 287-2566. they accept pymnt by phone as well. I thank you in advance

Basically I need help with my rent. My daughters father use to abuse me and finally I did something about it. The reason I ddnt do anything about it is because I knew I would be in this situation. I did not depend on him until I couldnt work for maternity reasons as well as wanting to care for my daughter in her first moments of life. Now I am back working, I dont have enough money or time for my baby. However this leaves me short for rent and basically everything else but I cant lose our roof. I have nowhere else to go. I also figure it'll cost me more by getting evicted, losing my security deposit and starting over(for new apt).I can handle going without everything else, I could also handle going without this apartment if it was just me but its not. This brings me to the "begging" part...so I basically I would well my daughter and I would really appriciate anything at this point, even if its just advice on where else to go(trust ive been everywhere except stripping)as far where I could get immediate help.
If it matters I am 24 with no family except my 14month daughter all I want to do is live a good happy life at this point. I just got my mid life crisis early. I never thought in a million years I would be a domestic violence victim with a child(my daughter at that)involved, then in a situation like this...basically could be homeless in a matter of days, but working my behind off and still not making enough, never.....never would I or knew how to prepare for this, its jus all crazy.So again we would both appriciate anything.

Hi I am a single mother going through a tough divorce, a victim of domestic violence. I have had to start my life over after losing everything. The last 2 years have been really tough and it's very hard to recover in this economy and tough job market. I really need some help to pay my back rent upcoming rent as well as some traffic/court tickets so that I might have some breathing room. I have some ideas for a new business too but I couldn't even fathom in that venture until I can catch up and start to save a little. Food/gas is always tight every pay period so it makes it hard to survive. Is there anyone out there to help me?

HI I AM THE OWNER OF A USED CAR FAMILY BUSINESS THAT ITS BEEN EATEN BY THE ECONOMIC CRISIS ALONG WITH OTHER FACTORS LIKE THE VIOLENCE ACROSS THE BORDER (MEXICO) I AM LOOKING FOR SOME RICH PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD OR LOTTERY WINNERS TO DONATE 100,000.00 DLLS TO HELP ME GET BACK THIS BUSINESS TO LIFE AND TO PAY DEBTS AND MAINTAIN THIS SOURCE OF INCOME FOR MY FAMILY. WE HAVE HAD THIS BUSINESS SINCE 1989 AND HAVE PUT TOO MUCH WORK INTO IT. i UNDERSTAND THAT ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLS SOUNDS TOO MUCH MONEY BUT NOT TO SOMEONE WITH A GOOD HEART AND A GOOD BANK ACCOUNT. WE ARE A BIG FAMILY AND MY FATHER WHO WAS A BREAD COOKER (PANADERO IN SPANISH) STARTED THIS BUSINESS WITH A LITTLE CAPITAL AND HOPE OF GIVING TO HIS CHILDREN A BETTER WAY OF LIFE (WE ARE 7 BROTHERS AND 2 SISTERS) AND MY MOM ALSO WORKED HARD AND HELPED HIM A LOT. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH AND NOW THEY ARE OLDER AND WE HAVE TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEM. I HOPE SOMEBODY GENEROUS LOOK THRU THIS BEG AND WANTS TO HELP. IN SOME WAY BUSINESS HELP OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU BUY TO OTHER BUSINESS AND MONEY CIRCULATE AND HELP THE LOCAL ECONOMY. WE REALLY NEED THE MONEY AS THE OTHER PEOPLE IN THIS SITE. PLEASE BELIEVE ME THAT I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO IMPLORE HELP. IM 54 AND I HAVE INVESTED A GOOD CHUNK OF MY LIFE IN THIS BUSINESS AND I DONT KNOW ANOTHER JOB THAT BUY AND SALE CARS AND TRUCKS (SALVAGE VEHICLES) AND I LIKE THIS BUSINESS. i HONESTLY OFFER THAT IF I GET HELP I WILL HELP OTHER PEOPLE. I ALREADY DO IT BUT SOME EXTENT. YOU SHOULD SEE ALL THE POVERTY IN MEXICO WHEN I COME FROM MEXICO THERE ARE LOT OF PEOPLE SELLIN DIFFERENT ITEMS AT THE INTERNATIONAL BRIDGES, STREET VENDORS,ETC. IS HARD BUT THINGS IN MEXICO DO NOT GO VERY WELL, YOU KNOW.

THANK VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL.
MUCHAS GRACIAS Y SUERTE PARA TODOS! ILOVEYOU

I'm a single mother aged 35. I've lived in California for almost 14 years ( it will be 15 this year on memorial day weekend.)
I’m going to be a little blunt, because I'm tired and I want to give up so bad, but I can't. I'm better than that and my kids are my motivator. I wake up everyday and remind myself of 2 things :1) Faith is what you have when you all your beliefs are blown to hell. 2) What doesn't kill you makes you stronger -Nietzsche

I am a 35 year old educated, ambitious, head strong woman. I have owned my own business with my soon to be ex. I know what hard work and determination are. I went to private school and I am educated. I value my community and have always given back and will continue to do so. I also know that I have the drive and determination to get myself back on track. I'm not ASKING for a handout, I'm asking for help up! I also know what loss is. I don't have the business, a house or EVEN the car anymore. We lost everything. He bounced back , I didn’t. All I have is HOPE, that someone or some program can help me carve a path back to self sufficiency.
It's gone continually downhill.I am amazed at the allotment of programs for both housing and employment for all different walks of life. However, what about those that are just struggling. No hang ups, no record, just struggling and are LOW INCOME. I'm not writing this to make you feel sorry, I'm writing this because I have exhausted possibilities that I have researched both on my own or been given the information to do the work with.
There are people who struggle everyday through no fault of their own. They don't want a hand out, but help up would be a relief. Society doesn't need band-aids they need solutions.
Not every county, city or state program fits everyone's needs.
First of all Section 8 has been closed since BEFORE I left my marriage so that idea could never work. The list has been closed for years. Because I have limited time with my children, I do not qualify for CALWORKS. I have tried getting assistance in every way possible. I had very little unemployment left since I have been struggling to find work. I was delayed for about 3 months because they needed verification and I had to appeal and request a hearing. I have won my appeal but will only receive $91/week and for a short period of time.
I took a project management class through WIA in 2011, and I was able to get CTB benefits. I NEED HELP. I have hit the absolute worst point in my life and still refuse to give up. I have been looking for work and am now HOMELESS.I am in week 3 of staying in an extended stay hotel (paid for by my mother back east, who makes maybe $26,000/yr in PA) I recently sold my car because I needed to pay bills and rent. I have maybe $75 to my name.
The fact that they say there are services for low income/ homeless is frustrating. I say this because there is no category for me. I'm not a drug addict or in recovery. I don't have a mental illness. I wasn't in prison, I don’t' even have a RECORD. I can proudly say I've never been arrested or even in the back of a cop car. I'm not a victim of domestic violence and I do not beat my kids. Why aren't there programs in place for single parents struggling to make it? Everyday people that are responsible and respectable. I understand the need to assist those that may not have the capacity to take care of themselves. However, I have a huge problem with the fact that Santa Clara County & all programs (private, govt or state funded) will rehabilitate and reintroduced felons into the community, but if you're poor, homeless, no record, are looking for work, have high intelligence; sorry, you can't get help. This sounds extremely cynical and jaded, but I am a little after going through all I have.
I have been told constantly “I wish I could do something but we don't have any programs to help you.” My favorite reply is: "Yeah and you have done everything. I'm surprised you even knew about all the programs you did"
I have talked to employment counselors, program coordinators, program advocates and case managers, volunteers, just about anyone. The bankruptcy is hindering my chances of securing housing, even if I had employment.

The icing on the cake has to be with food stamps and General Assistance. I qualified for Cal-Fresh. However, at the time I had a car worth $2200. So I wasn't able to get General Assistance. Fast Forward a year later, I HAD to sell my car to pay bills. Now this month when I went for General Assistance, I qualify.

It's a never ending cycle, a constant push down. I can take public transportation to work, but to get around and see my boys and being able to transport them would be extremely difficult, not to mention financially stressing. I have scoured employment books, read articles, searched the library, spent hours online trying to find a job, program, a company, anybody who could be a resource whether for low income assistance or employment.
I can probably tell you about a plethora of services this county (Santa Clara) offers for both income assistance and job services.I am registered with CALJOBS; I know all the career sites and have my resume there. I get interviews, however I am starting to think the bankruptcy from loss of business is holding me back when employers do background check.
I also could teach the business writing class or the resume writing classes they offer at Work2Future, I practically did when I took them. I could do the same at Sacred Heart. I've been to InnVision and EHC. I’ve talked to Sunnyvale Community Services. Boy he was a treat he sounded older then my 80 yr old grandma. When I said I need housing and employment help, he gruffly told me to check the newspaper and hung up. I've called St Josephs in Gilroy. I've talked to a program coordinator at West Valley Community Services. I called the Sobrato Organization hoping they had ties to something and one the employees just by grace of god happened to pick up and take my call. I was able to talk to someone at HIF (they couldn't help)
.
I am responsible, respectable and just want to work, have a place to live, and be able to have my children 50/50. I have no police record. I am not in recovery, nor have I ever had to be in a program
I want to work and am attaching a compilation of ALL my work skills. I would not send this out otherwise, I would tailor it specifically to the job I am applying for.

I used to volunteer as much as I could I like being active in my community and helping others. I'm still about that I believe in PAY IT FORWARD. I believe the good you do comes back to you tenfold and that no matter what is going wrong in your life, someone else is struggling just as much if not more; so be thankful for what you have.
I attend church and was a hospitality volunteer for that as well.
I just need help getting on my feet. I have no family, other than my children here in CA.
I do not want to move back east and be far away from them. I want to work, I want to live again. I want to smile and mean it.

I hate what my life has become and know that I am SO MUCH BETTER THEN THIS.
Please help me : money is fine, but it's only a temporary fix, please help me find a program that can assist me in getting on my feet, direct me to employment, and most of all afford me the opportunity to have my children much more consistently so I can be a mom again.
Thank you
Courtney DiMiceli

Hello, I am looking for donation help to aid Domestic Violence victims get back on their feet mainly by getting a vehicle. I do all I can by providing shelter but I really want to make a difference by seeing these people start to live their life again and no go back to the violence because they have no funds to start over!! PLEASE PLEASE HELP...ANYTHING IS APPRECIATED AND PUT TO USE.

I have been married for 2 1/2 years to an abusive drunk. I was a teacher in another state for 11 years and moved to Ohio to get married and start a new life. Almost immediately, I realized I had made a mistake. He drinks heavily and is verbally and physically abusive. I often find myself locked in a bedroom with our cat, who he also threatens to kill. I have slept in my car, in cheap hotels and on friend's couches.
I want to leave and go back to the state where I taught before moving here, but cannot afford it. I am in need of $1500 to buy a plane ticket and to help pay my bills until I can find a job.
I am currently working a min wage job and want can barely pay my bills (student loans, credit cards, insurance, living expenses)and can't afford to leave. I am desperate, scared and tired of living this way. I want out, but have no place to go and no money to do it and wouldn't be on here unless it was a last resort. I can provide a police report from when he was arrested for domestic violence if you want proof of my situation.
Please, if you can find any way to help me, I would be so grateful. When I get out, I would pay back by serving in the community I move to. I currently volunteer at our local cat shelter and would do that in my new city, as well as work in the soup kitchen and find other service opportunities. I believe in paying it forward.

Recently, my 80 year old grandfather had become a victim of domestic violence/elder abuse. His bipolar, alcoholic wife of 22 years began abusing him. She has been criminally charged and is awaiting trial. In the mean time, she has filed for divorce and is asking for spousal support/alimony and much more. Being 80 years old, he is on a limited income and cannot afford a divorce attorney to represent him. He doesn't have much, but what he does have, he worked hard for and I don't feel that she is entitled to anything due to the abuse. Help me, help him. I am only looking for attorney fees, any amount received above that will be donated to veterans charities as they have done a lot for my grandfather. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My partner and I have recently become full custodians of his 4 children due to them being subject to domestic violence while with there mother. Their ages are 7, 5, 3 and 2. I have also just had my own child who is 4 months old. I am on Maternity leave and not making much money, my partner works full time and I will be going back to work however things are extremely tight, we have 5 new mouths to feed and buy clothes for. We are also having to pay alot for solicitors as although we have the children the mother keeps fighting for visits, and even though the children were uncared for and abused in her care the judges seem to think they would benefit from some contact with their mother.

Im not asking for much 50p or a £1 here and there would help lots. So if you can donate to me please do. If not thanks for reading. :)

As hard as it was to just pick up and leave an abusive (both physical and mental) of 12 years, it was even harder to have my youngest daughter who is 3 walk up to me and say "mommy why are you crying, is it because daddy is mean too you?" That absolutely melted my heart and gave me the "final straw" scenario to leave my husband, and take my children so that they can be raised in a non-hostile environment.This decision has definitely come with a number of hoops and hurdles to get over. It doesn't scare me that I am now going to me a single mother, but its all the responsibilities that come with that title.

First hurdle, I had to overcome is finding a place for myself, 3 year old daughter and 1 year old son to live. There is a very limited amount of shelters for women with children, so we ended up staying with my bff in her 1 bed/ 1 bath 695 sqft apartment. While this is only temporary I am glad we at least have somewhere to lay our heads at night. Not to mention I work, 67 miles from my BFF's residence, and my kids school is another 80 miles away. This commute has almost been impossible to make, but my choices are limited at this point.

The things I so desperately need help with now is ANYTHING in your heart or power to do. Donations thru paypal are great and would help tremendously. I have to find a place closer to work and my children's school, I have my daughters school tuition of $385 due every month.I am lucky that her school is working with me considering the circumstances. I also still have to buy diapers and wipes, and organic food because my son has asthma and allergies. I never wanted to be rich, I just don't want to have to worry every week. I hope to be in a better position one day where my fiances not only allow me to live but also to help out anyone else in need.

Domestic Violence is such a mind game, it took me 12 years to see beyond the tricks and realize the damage it has done to not only myself but my two small children who are like sponges. Their behavior lately has me thinking that they will definitely have to go to family counseling in the near future.

Anything that is in your power to do will be so greatly appreciated. .50, $1, $5....whatever will help me rebuild our family unit. My husband mot helping me or focusing on the kids is his way of getting to me, but I cannot and will not ever go back. If anything please keep my children in your prayers, I hurt for them because I could not provide them with a traditional two -parent home. They are getting the short end of the stick and as a mother who is all about her kids...it hurts! Thank you for taking the time to read my story. If you are in a similar situation my prayers go out to you as well.

Hey, here is my story in the short form. Was in a lifelong committed relationship that lasted 22 years from the time I was 18, married in 1993 and had to flee in 2007 when my husband became violent towards me again. During a family camping trip he came at me and slammed me up against a motorhome and grabbed me by the back of my neck and squeezed it very very hard. Once he passed out in his truck I grabbed both kids and the family dog put them in the minivan and drove to a friend's house where the children and I would be safe as he did not know where we were.
The physical violence had stopped for many years before the marriage so I felt that my love had "HEALED ALL HIS WOUNDS" I was so wrong and fled with our kids the very first time he became physical against me again. I was a stay at home Mom when I fled from him the first time he became violent again. I had no job and he never again deposited his checks in our joint account to cover "our" current debt.
I always thought (and was told by many others) that he would be held accountable for 50% of all the joint debt that WE had racked up over the last 22 years.
WRONG! He/She who has the highest paid attorney will be able to pull you in to court every 2 weeks until the one with the less money breaks.
I work hard but put my kids first. Their Father leaves the USA on average for 6 months a year and misses any visits with his kids during his absence. He also does not pay his court order payments on time.

I was hit by a drunk driver over a year ago and lost my highest grossing job because I was unable to work for 6 months and a few months ago 2 other jobs I had were forced to let me go as they could no longer afford to keep me on.

Please help me save the only house my kids have known. The market has dropped and I have been upside down for 2 years now.
The house will go into foreclosure in the next 60 days if I can't raise the funds needed.

I hope you can find it in your heart to spare even just $1.00 to help me keep a roof over the kids head also to send out a short prayer for me to find a job would also be much appreciated.
Thank you for whatever you can spare.
