My name is Lydia, and I’m a single mother starting over with my three little girls after surviving one of the darkest chapters of our lives. I’m reaching out with the deepest humility and hope in my heart to ask for help as we begin again in Minnesota.
For years, I endured an emotionally and psychologically abusive marriage. My husband abandoned us—he left without warning, moving to London with his mistress, leaving me and our daughters behind. In his absence, I discovered he’d planted hidden cameras and microphones in our home, continuing to stalk and harass us from across the world. When he returned six months later, the abuse escalated into something no mother or child should ever have to endure.
Just over a month ago, after a long and painful battle, I was granted primary custody of my girls and permission to relocate us to safety in my home state. While that was a victory, I walked away from the marriage with nothing. I had been manipulated into signing a devastating prenup that left me without access to our shared assets. I am working hard every day, but I’m struggling to keep up with the financial demands of this fresh start.
Right now, I’m facing several urgent needs:
-
$4,000 to buy out of our lease in Las Vegas
-
$5,000 for moving expenses
-
Additional funds for essentials like furniture, clothing, and school supplies for my girls in our new home
This isn’t easy to ask. I’m doing everything I can to rebuild with dignity and strength, but I can’t do it all on my own. Any amount, no matter how small, would be a blessing and a lifeline for us.
If you’re able and moved to help, my Cash App is $LydiaDantonio. Your support would mean the world to me and my daughters, not just financially but as a reminder that we’re not alone—that even after all we’ve endured, kindness and community still exist.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading and for caring.
With love and hope,
Lydia
