When Whitney contacted us earlier this month she was terrified. She was 6 months pregnant with a baby boy. Her fiance in Spain became emotionally abusive when she was a few months pregnant. He became moodier and moodier, then one night in a rage he pushed her down to the floor. Whitney was so afraid he had hurt the baby and she wasn't going to risk it happening again. And she did not want her baby to grow up with an abusive father. But her window of opportunity to get on a plane was closing.
We worked quickly to get Whitney a new American passport since her boyfriend had taken hers.Then got her on a plane and back to the USA to her parents' home.
Whitney is doing well and so happy that she will not be trapped in Spain under the control of her abusive fiance.
Here is part of an email from Whitney:
"The baby is kicking a lot. I think he is jumping for joy that we are home and safe!"
Thank you for helping us help Whitney! The AODVC Team
