Re: San Antonio Texas help in all areas
Posted: Wed Mar 26, 2025 7:54 am
My name is Stephanie, and I am writing to seek your assistance during an overwhelming and urgent crisis that my family and I are currently facing. We moved to San Antonio earlier this year at the invitation of my father, who promised an opportunity for stability and professional growth. Unfortunately, our living situation has deteriorated to the point of hostility, verbal abuse, and emotional distress, and we now need to leave as soon as possible for the safety and well-being of my family.
Background of the Situation
1. Family Dynamics:
Since January, I have been living and working with my father, assisting him in his jewelry repair and fabrication work. He had promised to teach me the trade and help me establish a career. Despite my significant contributions, I was not allowed to bill my own work, leaving me financially dependent.
Over the months, my father’s behavior became increasingly controlling and verbally abusive. This reached a breaking point recently when he targeted my 12-year-old daughter, Laylah, with cruel comments about her weight after she confided in me about self-harming due to bullying.
2. Abuse History:
My father has a long history of abusive behavior, including physical abuse during my childhood and verbal abuse more recently. This pattern has made our living environment unsafe and emotionally damaging.
3. Crisis Situation:
When I informed my father of our decision to leave, he became confrontational, escalating the situation at his workplace and making threatening remarks about making us "pay" for leaving. We are now under significant stress and pressure to move out quickly.
Current Needs
We plan to relocate to leave San Antonio and move to Midland, TX, where my mother has offered us a place to stay. However, there are several challenges:
Fuel and Transportation Costs: We need assistance with gas for two vehicles (a 2012 Ford Taurus and a 2020 Chevy Tahoe towing a trailer) as well as a U-Haul truck to transport what little we can take.
Food and Supplies: During the journey and an expected stay in a hotel for a few days (until my mother’s home is available), we need help with food, diapers for my 2-year-old son, and basic necessities.
Family Health Challenges
In addition to our immediate crisis, several family members are dealing with severe health challenges:
My uncle (a jeweler) is battling advanced kidney cancer, and another uncle recently suffered a near-fatal injury at home. My brother has had to quit his job to care for them and my mother.
My mother is undergoing medical tests for possible cancer, and my husband’s mother has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy.
A Difficult Yet Necessary Move
While my mother and I have reconciled after a strained relationship, she wishes to keep our situation private due to extended family staying at her home until the end of the week. This delay adds to the logistical and financial burden of our relocation.
Request for Assistance
I am humbly requesting any assistance your organization might offer, including:
1. Gas cards or fuel assistance to support our trip from San Antonio to Midland.
2. Food, diapers, and other essential supplies to sustain us during the move and hotel stay.
3. Prayers and any other resources that might help us navigate this extremely challenging time.
I know this is a significant request, but we are in a desperate and unsafe situation. Any help, no matter how small, would mean the world to us and would make a lasting impact on our ability to start fresh in a safe environment.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and consider helping my family. Please let me know if there is a formal application process or additional steps I need to take. May God bless you for all the work you do to support families in need.
Sincerely,
Stephanie
I did get an ai to help me put this into words because this situation is very hostile and mentally draining every time I tried to write this out it just was a jumbled mess. I hope you can understand
