Hi, My name is Heather. What do you do and where do you go when you are surrounded by darkness? I am looking for the light and putting my pride away to ask total strangers for help. I want to believe that people are good. It’s hard right now. Every system is failing my daughter and I, including me being falsely accused and taken off to jail in front of my daughter last week by my husband. You see I wanted to believe that the man I met more than 22 years ago would love me, be a good husband for me and help raise our daughter, but addictions overcame him causing havoc in our lives. We were a great team at one time, owning several restaurants. I left once before, but 3 years of counseling, promises of being better, going to meetings and church every Sunday gave me the false pretense that he beat his addictions. Then this past January all the lies began again, and I found the strength to leave once again, but now he is trying to destroy me and my daughter mentally and financially. I have several employees with families that depend on the small restaurant I run in my hometown that depend on the restaurant being opened and operational. However, I need to close while I handle the court hearings and meet with my attorney. He is even falsely accusing my 80-year-old Mother of things as well. He wants to destroy us. I would only put my story out on social media because I know that sometimes miracles happen. I want to believe that they do. A friend has helped me set up a go-fund me. It was a hard decision to allow her to do this for my daughter and I, but if you have it in your heart or have survived a similar situation, I would appreciate your thoughts and prayers. And if you have it in your heart any donations would go to paying my employees and legal fees. I’ve not taken a salary since opening the restaurant. We’ve survived Covid and provide a needed service in our rural community. This would be a great loss for me, for my daughter. Thank you for taking time to read our story and for your help.
