All proceeds go to help a friend and her children (two of them special needs) get out of an abusive home and into a place of their own. A great woman and friend has been put in a very bad situation, where she and her children are victims of verbal and mental abuse daily. We wants to help her to get out of this home, but she has limited  income and can not afford a deposit to move into a new place. We are trying to raise enough for her to be able to put a deposit down and also be able to pay for any other expenses that might arise from a sudden move. 

Please help us raise enough to save her and her three children from anymore emotional anguish.
Thank you.
