Linda
Linda married her high school sweetheart and they settled in the Los Angeles area. Things were going well for the young couple when her husband began to verbally abuse her. It was shortly after the verbal attacks that the physical abuse started. Linda immediately sought help and her husband was arrested. As the abuse continued, her husband was arrested many times, only to serve several days before his release each time. Things were not improving for Linda, as her husband began to stalk and threaten her. Again, she filed charges; her husband was convicted and given time in jail. Linda knew this was her chance to do something that would assure safety for her children and herself. All along she had been seeking information to help her when the opportunity to leave arrived. From the handful of options she had to choose from, a domestic violence transition shelter in San Diego was her choice. It would distance them from her husband and provide a safer environment for the children.
Following the husband’s release from jail, he requested and was granted supervised visitations with the children. It would be Linda’s responsibility to get them to Los Angeles on the designated days. This is where Travelers Aid stepped in to help: We were able to assist Linda with transportation for three to Los Angeles to comply with the court-ordered visits. The resources we provide assure Linda’s return to her new home, the shelter in San Diego: a place where she feels safe while preparing for a new and non-violent life with her children.
