Thanks to donations like yours Bella was able to come home with her human mom Amber! We helped Amber and Bella escape Belize last month. Amber had been teaching English in Belize for two years and had adopted Bella just a few months after she arrived. She met a man, an American, in December of last year. Amber told us they had a whirlwind romance and everything was great for the first six months, then he became moody and started criticizing her.
Last month, he came home drunk and hit her. That is when Amber called us for help. We helped Amber come up with a safety plan and helped her get everything in order so she could leave and come back to the USA with Bella.
Amber is safely living at her mom and dad's house with Bella now. We can't thank you enough for helping Amber and Bella!
