Jeanette
Jeanette, a young mother, had been suffering at the hands of her husband of three years. They had separated many times in the past, and each time they reunited, he promised to stay away from drugs and alcohol as well as attend counseling. Unfortunately, each time he also returned to his old habits of threatening her and abusing her physically and emotionally. Both beautiful and dignified, Jeanette had had enough, and on her own, made arrangements for herself and her daughter to move to a shelter in another part of the state. She just needed help with transportation to get there, and we were able to get the two out of town quickly. It cost Travelers Aid $214 to purchase two Greyhound tickets for them.
