"I Need Help Escaping Abuse and Getting to Safety—Now!" I am asking for help because my life and safety are at risk. For 30 years, I endured emotional, physical, mental, financial, and sexual abuse by my ex-husband. I finally escaped—but he has not let me go. He is stalking me, watching me from the parking lot of my apartment, and I am trapped in a place where I do not feel safe. I live with complex PTSD from decades of abuse, severe medical trauma, and a terrifying incident of police brutality due to mistaken identity. I am also disabled, living on SSI, with degenerative disc disease and arthritis, and I cannot drive. I am isolated, vulnerable, and running out of time. My ex-husband secretly made himself my SSI payee without my knowledge and stole over $30,000, destroyed my credit, forced me to sell my beloved 1968 Ford Mustang, and took that money too. He was paid by the State of Washington as my caregiver—and used that position to abuse, neglect, and financially exploit me before abandoning me. I have no family left. I was my mother’s caregiver at just 21. She died of cancer. I later became the legal guardian of my sister—she also died of breast cancer in 2020. Everyone I loved is gone. I am completely alone except for my two emotional support animals who are the reason I am still here. Because of my trauma and a past incident with law enforcement, I am terrified to go to the police. My body literally freezes—my hands bind and lock from trauma triggers. I cannot fight. I cannot flee on my own. I need help now, before he escalates and harms me. I am asking for donations to: **Move immediately** to a safe, undisclosed location. Cover moving costs, deposits, and rent for an apartment or small home . Regain basic security and stability. Keep my emotional support animals with me. Every dollar brings me closer to safety, peace, and survival. If you can donate, please know you are not just giving money—you are helping save a life. If you can’t donate, sharing this could save me. I deserve to live without fear. I deserve to be safe. Thank you for seeing me. Thank you for helping me escape.
