Illa loved her husband but she couldn't take his abuse any longer. She emailed us after a night when he became very violent, even threatening her son Benjamin who was only eight months old.

Illa desperately wanted to come home from a European country but she was worried about the Hague Convention on International Child Abduction.

We safety planned with Illa, explained to her the type of evidence of domestic violence she should gather and connected her to an attorney for a free legal consultation to help her prepare for her return to the USA.

Illa was afraid and needed a lot of support helping her cope with the fear that her husband would find out she was planning on leaving.

Her parents were able to purchase her airline tickets and a plan was put into place for her to leave with Benjamin while her husband was out of town on a work trip. We kept in touch with Illa via email throughout her long journey providing support and encouragement.

Illa is relieved to be home and Benjamin enjoyed his first Halloween in the USA!

Because of your donations, we are able to provide the support, information and resources victims like Illa need.

Thank you from the Pathways' Team!
