Help Stop Military Family Violence

Project Report | Aug 19, 2023
You helped Tisha and her daughter Silvie!

By Paula Lucas | Founder

Tisha loves her career as a military nurse and adores living in the UK. But few people know that Tisha is a victim of domestic violence, struggling from day to day just to keep safe from an angry, violent husband.

In front of other people her husband is charming and successful. At home he is jealous, demanding, insulting and mean. He doesn't leave bruises on her face, neck or arms, hiding the evidence of his abuse from the sight of others.

Tisha has begged him to go to marriage counseling and anger management therapy but he refuses, denying he has a problem and says Tisha is to blame.

For several months Tisha has been emailing with our crisis email advocate Meg. Meg has been able to provide ongoing emotional support, safety planning and other guidance to Tisha.

Tisha decided to leave her husband and get her daughter Silvie away from her abusive stepfather. Tisha asked to be transferred to another post. She was able to do this quickly without raising suspicion.

While Tisha is still struggling emotionally with her decision, and still has to file for divorce, she is in counseling and relieved she and Silvie are safe and at peace.

Without donors like you we would not be able to provide ongoing, critical support to victims in crisis.

Thank you!
