Thank you for taking the time to read this. I know that there’s a lot of people in need right now, so as I write this for myself and my daughter I am also praying for others who have reached out.
My daughter and I are new to Nashville. We have escaped a life of abuse and neglect from my previous partner. We’ve traveled over 3,000 miles, lost everything we owned, had to leave friends families and schools entire communities behind to stay safe.
We have not had a Christmas in many years and my daughter is very excited.
We currently live in a confidential shelter in Davidson county. We are working hard through therapy and workshops and with the help of advocates to get our lives back on track free, from abuse and freedom to feel Joy.
Our needs are pretty extensive beings that we just left our home and everything in it. We both need warm clothing jackets hats gloves socks. Blankets and pillows.
My daughter is an amazing talented artist and has no supplies. She is also autistic and and has to be cared for more than the normal 21-year-old. Art supplies just aren’t in our non-existent budget right now. She would like to have a way to buy gifts and cards and make treats for her family members and decorations (though not too much) due to where we live.
I am in need of the one thing that will get us back on our feet. I am a musician and I have been playing the guitar since I was six and singing on stage since before that. Whenever we’ve had trying times I have always been able to support us through anything by playing music. My previous partner whom we just ran for our lives from, made sure that they smashed all of my music equipment knowing it would make it near impossible for me to have any sort of livelihood without it.
I don’t even need anything new. An acoustic electric a small amp microphone and stand would put me back in the running to be able to put some money in our pockets and save up for something better.
We would also like to meet the person(angels) who are thinking of or have decided to help us. We’d like to share our story and maybe by the time Christmas does come we might have more than each other to share it with.
Thank you.
