We recently had a conversation with Kevin* and his son Daniel*. Daniel is a survivor of physical abuse starting at age 4 and sexual abuse and trafficking at the hands of his biological mother’s boyfriend among others starting at age 8. He was forced and threatened to do the unthinkable, including various sex acts with the boyfriend and mother's young daughter. Their abuse was strategic and purposeful in an attempt to break down their moral compass and their ability to fight.

Thankfully, his biological father Kevin fought for him and with the help of a counselor and mentor at an intensive advanced behavioral facility, Daniel was able to start his healing journey. After a long battle, he is now living with Kevin who has full custody.

Sadly, through several moves, court costs, and care, the family has run across some hard times. This has led them to be behind in their necessities. The good news is Kevin is planning to start his new job in the middle of this month. Daniel, now 16, will start his first job soon too! We would love to acknowledge and celebrate the progress that Kevin, and especially Daniel, has made and help ease the financial burden that has been caused through this healing process.

Restoring Oaks has committed to cover overdue car payments and one month's rent. But we need your help to ease this burden and help this family move forward in their healing journey.

These are the milestones that would help this family:

- 2nd month’s rent: $1,800
- Total of rent past due: $7,200 (we covered the first month of this through direct payment)
- Total debt acquired through this difficult time; $16,400 (we are covering ~$3,600 of this through direct payment)

Please donate what you can by clicking Donate on the right of this page. 100% of the proceeds of this fundraiser will go to this family. Please consider covering the processing fees as well. This campaign will run through the month of June. Please share after you donate. We are so thankful for ALL who have come alongside this family already, and are honored to do our part. Kevin and Daniel are thankful for anything you can give.

*Names have been changed for the safety of the family.
