Rebecca
Rebecca, age 38, had been in a relationship for seven years with her partner when it first turned violent. Her girlfriend began beating her, and was so violent that Rebecca was suffering from an inflamed and damaged kidney by the time she contacted Travelers Aid to see if we could help her get out of town. The girlfriend was to be released from Donovan State Prison shortly and since Rebecca continued to be threatened by the woman for the duration of her confinement, she was fearful and wished to leave San Diego. She wanted to return to her parents’ home, but her ex-girlfriend knew where they lived, and had threatened Rebecca’s family as well. Travelers Aid was able to assist Rebecca with a one-way bus ticket to the Boston area, where she could move in with a close friend.
