When Valerie called us from Europe she was scared, exhausted and just wanted to come home. Her abusive husband was in the military. This past year he has become so abusive to Valerie that she began to think he was going to kill her. He strangled her twice over the summer, a significant indicator of potential lethality.
Valerie did not want to go through the military family advocacy program. She was terrified of what her husband would do if he found out she told someone. We helped Valerie purchase an airline ticket and flew her home safely to her grandparents home.
We are providing Valerie with on-going support and counseling. She is doing really well because of donors like you! Thank you for helping us help American victims of domestic violence in the Military abroad.
