Danger-to-Safety Relocation for DV Survivors

When Rain called us from Thailand she was desperate. Her husband had become more and more abusive after they had moved to Bangkok for his job. The night before Rain called us her husband became angry after Harper would not stop crying. Rain explained that Harper had a fever and wasn't feeling well. Her husband ripped Harper from Rain's arms and locked him in a closet. When Rain tried to intervene he hit her.

Luckily Rain had access to their American passports. Because of donations like yours we were able to purchase airline tickets and get Rain and Harper home to the USA. They are living with Rain's parents. Rain filed for a family protection order and emergency custody of Harper. Rain loves her husband but what he did is unacceptable and she will not raise Harper in an abusive home.

Catrina had been living in Italy with her Italian husband for 4 years. Over time he became more abusive. He had never been physically abusive but his insults, jealousy and need to control her were unbearable.

When she became pregnant with Chloe he accused her of having an affair and he was convinced the baby was not his. When Catrina was six months pregnant with Chloe, in a fit of rage he pushed her and she fell down. That is when she called us.

Catrina knew is she had Chloe in Italy then she would not be able to leave. We were able to safety plan with Catrina and get her home before Chloe was born.

Catrina and Chloe are doing really well. They are living with Catrina's parents and Chloe is adorable!
