As a mother, there is nothing I wouldn’t do for my children. I have tried everything to ensure that they are happy and cared for! I smiled at them even when he would scream threatening slurs. I giggle with them even though I am completely broken inside. And I run to school with them in the morning knowing that I will be counting change to buy them bare necessities later on in the day. But I am first and foremost their mother and it is my responsibility to ensure that they are physically and emotionally safe!
“My abuser has officially set me free! I am free to care for my children and he can no longer hurt us!”
This is a tremendous miracle, one that I am grateful for, and I know I was…WE were saved! I cherish this freedom and the emotional stability that it comes with! There aren’t words to describe my immense gratitude to Hashem! Yet, unfortunately, this everlasting feeling of gratefulness doesn’t take away from the fact that we desperately need help! I have been out of a job for the past few months, and I am the sole provider for my family. Besides for the daily challenge of obtaining funds for food, I take my babies to the laundromat almost daily because I cannot afford a simple washing machine and hookup. I am behind on bills and cringe at the thought of trying to figure out next month’s rent. My kids could really use some warm winter clothes, and I would really like to fill up my house with nutritious groceries. I am not asking for much, and I am grateful for our safety, freedom, and that Hashem has deemed me and my babies as survivors! But now I am asking for YOUR help Am Yisroel!
This campaign is organized by a dear friend of mine in the Anash community as I do not have any living family to rely on. Hashem and the Rebbe are guiding me, and YOU Am Yisroel are now my only family! Please help us during this much needed time!
“I am focused on rebuilding our family and ensuring we have a comfortable, safe, and warm place to call home. BUT I can only do this with your support!”
In the merit of your generous donation may you and your entire family be blessed with health, success, nachat, and love!

please consider enabling the possibility for people to give groceries, clothing, etc. Not everyone can spare meaningful money but more people might have spare clothing and furniture (things that their kids outgrew) and food (shabbos packages, dinners), babysitting (so mom can have a break)
You would be amazed what treasures people give & throw away ! But out of respect for mother & kids, things should be in good shape..This mother and her children should be benched with health, happiness, and peace of mind from now on IYH.

I don’t know you, but I do know your pain — at least some of it. It is for this reason I have donated $72 (gematria of chesed) to help you in some small measure, even though I am a father in the midst of my own desperate campaign on behalf of my son with similar tzuris. While I am truly saddened to hear about your plight, I am also heartened by COL’s boldness to bring this ugly topic to a public forum. But a sigh and a kretz isn’t enough, says the Rebbe — see Hayom Yom chof gimmel… Read more »
well said and I agree
i want to acknowledge and applaud col for allowing its platform to produce chesed – this here is chesed,
also im hopeful and confident that col will tackle other issues in the community for example parental alienation which would also be a chesed
