This has rapidly gone from an "I urgently need money for bills and medical supplies" fund to an "I need to get out of an abusive marriage and also pay my bills and get medical supplies" fund.

My name is Stephanie. I'm 39 years old, and a native of Grand Rapids Michigan. I have an amazing 11 year old daughter(who is already taller than me), and 6 adorable rats. All of them help me maintain my sanity. 

I've worked direct care with adults with developmental disabilities for the better part of a decade and a half; it's what I was born to do, and I truly love it. I continue to work as effectively as I can in spite of the fact that I have a pretty severe case of eczema, which makes physical movement difficult at best. Plop chronic fatigue syndrome on top of that, and you get an idea of what I'm working with(literally). 

While my employer has finally begun to pay a living wage, my wages have been garnished to pay off the interest from a shady auto loan from years back, on a car that barely ran. My health insurance(that doesn't cover any of my day to day medical supplies) takes 1/4 of my check, and the garnishment takes another 1/4... You do the math.

And now, we enter crisis mode. I've been married for 11 years to a man who has become progressively more emotionally abusive. It recently came to a head, and I need to get out before further damage is caused, by him or myself. I'm praying I can find a cheap(or free) piece of crap trailer in a moderately priced park, but I'm also open to the option of living in a travel trailer, or in an apartment.

I attempted to take out a 401k loan and was denied, and due to poor credit, I can't get financing anywhere else. So, I'm trying to figure out an escape strategy while I'm already struggling financially. But, it's either get out, or risk not surviving long enough to do so. Unfortunately, most of my family are deceased or out of state. So I'm jumping off of a building without a safety harness, but my odds still seem better than remaining on the roof of a building that is about to collapse.

So, if you can... Please help. I've tried my best to live a life of integrity and help others, but right now, I REALLY need any help I can get. If by chance I exceed my goal, I assure I will use whatever excess I have to help others. I just really need to claw my way out of this.
