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.
We can't thank you enough for helping us help abused Americans abroad like Rain and Harper! The AODVC Team
