Danger-to-Safety Relocation for DV Survivors

Bobbi contacted us by email. Bobbi is the daughter of Faith. They had been living in the UK for several years. Our Pathways advocate had multiple email communications from Bobbi who was emailing on behalf of her mother who was being abused by her father.

Finally Faith found the courage to communicate directly with us using Bobbi's email. Faith's husband did not allow Faith to have her own phone or email account. He even monitored the phone calls Faith had with her mother in the USA.

We safety planned with them to get them away from the abuse. Covid complicated an already challenging escape plan, but they made it home safely because of donors like you.

Thank you for your continuing belief in our mission. The Pathways Team.

Diane had been hesitant to move with her husband to Mexico. He had been abusive in their home in California. When her husband received a generous job offer in Mexico he was so happy and he seemed so much better.

After they had been in Mexico for about six months he began to become controlling and moody again. After one year the abuse had progressed to physical violence. Libby loved her father but she had seen the abuse and was becoming fearful and withdrawn. Diane did not want Libby to grow up in a violent home believing violence was normal.

Diane emailed Pathways and began safety planning including covid-19 considerations trying to navigate her escape home to safety. After weeks of email planning, Diane was able to escape with Libby back to California.

Donors like you make these success stories possible! Thank you! The Pathways' Team.
