In June Tamara called us for help. She was back in the USA on vacation with her young son. They had been living in Tunisia with her American husband who was there on a work contract for the past year. Tamara did not want to go back to Tunisia. Her husband was very abusive. He constantly criticized her, called her names and threatened to kill her and dump her body in the desert where no one would find her.
In the USA she could live with her mother who could watch her son for her while she worked.
We connected Tamara with an international family law attorney and were able to help pay a legal retainer. She has filed for divorce and custody. With a knowledgable attorney respresenting her, we are sure Tamara will be able to stay home safe in the USA.
We want to express our thanks to you for donating to this program to help mothers like Tamara stay safe with he son! The AODVC Team.
