About this fundraiser

Trauma from abuse doesn't just stop when you break free from the abuse. I'm raising money to get myself medical treatment to heal the invisible scars of intimate partner violence.. I have been free for almost 3 years from the abuse and in those three years I have not been able to get the help that I really need because of the financial hardship. The money raised in this fundraiser will go directly to the cost for medical treatment at the Linder Center of Hope. Once I have completed the program I need a surgical procedure to have a nerve block placed into my body for PTSD. And the rest of the money will be spent on aftercare services. I know I'm asking for a lot of money but just the bed alone for 40 days at the facility is almost $100,000 that's for the bed alone not for the services provided. At the Linder Center of Hope they not only treat mental illness but they operate on a neurobiological psychiatry basis. Scientific evidence have shown that years of repeated of emotional abuse causes traumatic brain injury. This is why I need to be in this facility because they will address my specific and individual needs. So please help give be me the gift of healing. All I truly want is some semblance of a normal life. I will never be able to get back what was taken for me . Please help me help myself break free from the suffering
