I know the majority of my reader don’t live in KY.
“Shop and Share is a one-day, statewide donation drive benefitting Kentucky’s fifteen domestic violence shelter programs. During the event, shoppers are asked to shop for what they need and to share an item with their local domestic violence program. Locations include various Kroger, Food City, IGA, Save-A-Lot and Super Dollar stores across Kentucky.
Donations from Shop & Share go to support the pantries and lives of local domestic violence shelters and the clients and children who receive their services.
Over the past 14 events, more than $4.5 million in goods and money have been raised for the shelters in the Kentucky Coalition Against Domestic Violence. These donations have allowed them to serve more women, children, and men by freeing up funds for advocacy and other services.” KY government website. Stats are from 2022.

I am from NY, but being that I’m domestically abused not by a person of romantic interest but by people entirely. I am working a way to bring to light the onslaught of subliminal abuse, gang stalking that is domestic abuse in a sense. This abuse has rendered me unable to effectively live a quality life. They will do this until I’m homeless on the street. Domestic abuse and they never laid their hands on me.
I appreciate this post so much, hopefully it expands to NYC because I dont know what life will look like for me in the next weeks or months. As no matter how hard I try my abusers push me out my life framing me a stalker of them and I’m the only one trying to work with authorities to bring to justice what gives them the right to do this all through NYC.
This abuser has gone so far that they use my resumes, a resume which I’ve updated yesterday with my blog, in hopes of proving that im myself, and I didn’t steal my own existence. I need a job, finances to better my life and leave these abusive people.
Thanks for your post, very hopeful…

I am so sorry you are having to fight this battle. I hope it’s okay that I say few prayers. 🙏🏻

Prayers are always welcomed ❤ and thank you. Abuse looks differently on everyone. I react loudly to silent and hidden abuse and group stalking. Making me appear as the things I seek justice in ironically. I am not perfect but when a dog feels threatened what it do, it growls, barks and shows teeth. I am technically all the same. Maybe if im mean and no longer have my kindness taken for granted then they’ll stop— let me heal, and work, instead of psychologically abusing me making me watch myself in others. And deteriorating my health and beauty. It’s shocking… Thanks for your prayers, may this program extend to NYC, and be open to people of ALL ages. Not just Teens. I’m 34, and my future hangs in the balance for being a victim of domestic onslaught over 20 years…. I am NOT too old. Amen…
