Justine, her husband, and their two children lived in Greece where Justine’s husband is assigned to the Crete Navel Base. Justine was the victim of both verbal and physical abuse from her husband, she has been isolated, keeping this secret from everyone in her life for over five years. Reliant on her husband’s wages, Justine could not imagine how she was going to leave Greece with the children. With no one to turn to Justine finally reported the abuse to an advocate at the Family Advocacy Program, FAP.
FAP contacted AODVC. FAP and AODVC often work together in partnership to be able to provide the best possible outcome for victims of domestic violence in the military. It is because of your support that AODVC was able to provide Justine and her children with the funds to obtain their needed travel documents, plane tickets back to the US, as well as temporary housing assistance.
We are grateful for your support!
