I am 30 years old. I recently left my marriage with a man who was physically and mentally abusive for seven years. At the time, I was doing well. I was living with a friend and babysitting for them. I had a good job and my own car. However, everything changed on March 17 when I was in a car wreck and ended up in the hospital for three days. I had broke both of the bones in my forearm making them pop out of my skin broke my elbow and my shoulder, I had a collapsed lung and two broken ribs. When I woke up, he was there. The hospital wouldn’t release me without somewhere to go. I couldn’t go back to where I was staying because I couldn’t afford rent. Now that I’m healed, I’m trying to get back to work. He won’t give me money, and if he does, he keeps track of it. I need money to help pay my few bills I have and to get back to work. Also money for personal items like hygiene products, and clothes for work.
