Imagine feeling isolated, alone, and even scared for your life. You want to run, you want to find safety, But doing so means leaving behind your confident, the one you can cry on, and even your protector.
You must choose to save your life and leave them behind, to a horrible fate.
How do you tell your children that the one that has been with them, their comfort, their confident, their protector, can't be saved?
These are decisions many domestic abuse victims face everyday. Our pets are our babies, but for abuse victims, many times they are much more than that. They are their lifeline. Their hope. Their and their children's safe place.
It is not a fair choice and something they shouldn't have to deal with in such an estranged time in their life.
This is why charities like Ahimsa House are so important!
Hopefully you never have to be put in this situation, but if you were, when she want to know that there is a place out there to help? Like so many others, Government funding is dwindling. They've had to turn away people this year.
Helping can be as easy as just hitting that sure button to raise more awareness for charities like this.
Everything helps! If you are not in Georgia, even just buying something like printer paper off their Amazon wish list helps.
If you are in Georgia, short-term fostering is a huge help. Well the survivors are getting on their feet and trying to find a stable place, their pets also need a place to stay temporarily. Boarding is very expensive, and eats away at the budget. Can't Foster a pet, they are so many other ways to help! You can even volunteer to transport pets. This is usually from a veterinarian to a foster, or boarding, etc.. short trips that may take you an hour or two, And can even be done with your responsible kids. It's a great way to start teaching them about helping others!
Again, the first step is sharing their post, the more eyes that see it the more people that are willing to help.
Or, by sharing you may even save a life! Someone may see this that is in this exact situation and didn't know a place like this existed. It may give them hope we're previously they only saw despair.
Thank you for reading this.
