Today I felt drawn to reconnect with a single mom I have helped out in the past as she struggles to get back on her feet. She relayed that since we last spoke, her ex had come to her apartment and beaten her in front of the kids.
He is now in jail and there is a court date set for tomorrow, but now she is also out of work and struggling while she waits for public assistance and succeeds in her job hunt.
I can't do anything to ease the burden she carries or help her move more swiftly through this difficult challenge she has before her, but I was able to give her some relief by way of going to get a big load of groceries for her and the kids. We will be staying in touch and I will support her in her efforts to stop the cycle of violence as well.
Send her your strength and well wishes if you can. She is a good woman with a rough road in front of her, but one she is ready to walk with her head held high.

Clearly in this case she is better off without him and I hope society and her government make sure her and the children can live a decent life. Well done for offering help and support life can be tough sometimes. I send her strength and love and the hope of a brighter future for them all. x
