Trigger warning: This story contains content about domestic violence. Please take care of yourself.

Tasha was just 22-years-old when she found herself facing the unimaginable – escaping domestic violence while raising her young daughter. After months of emotional abuse and escalating threats, she left in the middle of the night, holding nothing but her child on her hip and with no idea where to go.

For weeks, Tasha stayed with friends and family, and every day, she felt like a burden. She was constantly worried about her and her child’s safety, and feared her abuser might hurt the people helping her.

Her family was in danger.   

Thankfully, Tasha found Coburn Place. The moment she unlocked the door to her own apartment – she exhaled for the first time in months. She knew she could finally rest – that her family was safe.

But just when life started to feel manageable, Tasha’s daughter contracted a serious bacterial infection. Tasha was overwhelmingly terrified. She didn’t have a car, and she didn’t have a job or savings yet – she had only been safe for a just few weeks. It felt like she was in a never-ending nightmare.

That’s when her Coburn Place advocates stepped in. They made sure she had transportation to every doctor’s visit, helped her get the medicine she needed, and genuinely cared. They were by her side, so she didn’t have to face her scary situation alone.

Thanks to supporters like you, her daughter made a full recovery. You gave Coburn Place the tools and resources needed to help Tasha’s family.

My daughter is healthy and safe – that’s all I ever wanted. Coburn Place made that possible. They gave me peace of mind when I needed it most.

Today, her little one is healthy and safe – spending the summer laughing and playing with the other kids at Coburn Place’s children’s camp.

Tasha can finally breathe again. And she’s focusing on her goals: finding a job, building a savings account, finding long-term housing and keeping her family safe.

Thank you for showing up for young moms like Tasha when they need it most. You saved Tasha’s and her daughter’s life.
