i recently left my husband of 11 years. my children as well as myself were victims of domestic violence. but what really pushed me to leave after so long was worse than i ever could have imagined. i found out that my husband was molesting my 10 year old daughter for at least 2 years. it all started when i got deployed to iraq, in february 2003. my daughter was only 6 years old. i am in the worst spot financially due to leaving him. we owned a house together in california, so there was no rent to pay. i am employed now, but most of my earnings have to go to childcare for my 2 year old daughter. we just got our own place after being homeless for over 1 year. we take public transportation when we can afford it, and i walk 4 miles a day (to and from work) 6 days a week. but for once in over 11 years, i can finally say that we are not only alive and together, but that we are safe. there are no local organizations in my area that can help me financially. any help would be a blessing. both of my girls need clothes and shoes. we have no beds, no furnature, no pots or pans. we have been living off of my daily tips just to eat. on a good day, i have made up to $17 dollars, but usually i only get about 4 or 5 dollars. i can be reached by e-mail @ wispies72@yahoo.com. please god send me an angel......
