LET’S SHOW MUMS
LIKE MADISON THEY ARE NOT ALONE.
Please donate today.
This June, we need your help to raise $50,000 and to stand with mums like Madison.
When Madison first met her ex-partner, she saw the good in him and was hopeful about their life together. Sadly, as time went on, alcohol and violence dominated the relationship.
“He’d be drinking a lot, so he was aggressive.
At one stage, I was very heavily pregnant with my son, and I wouldn’t let him in because I knew he’d be drinking. And he kicked in the door, and I had a drink and he smashed the drink and then cut me on my arm with the bottle.”
“It’s awful. It’s surreal sometimes the experience for that sort of behaviour. When you’re in the midst of it, it doesn’t seem real.
I felt really lost and despair.”
Things escalated when her ex-partner didn’t return her son from a routine visit.
“He took him for a whole year. I never saw him. I kept going back to the police saying this is kidnapping, what can I do?
You can watch Madison’s full story here.
How Horizons stood with Madison
“I will never forget when Horizons told me they can help me. It was unbelievable. It was probably one of the best feelings that I’ll never forget in my life.
Horizons really stepped in and took over my case for me. Right from the first mediation, all the way through to the final hearing, they held my hand every step of the way.”
If it wasn’t for Horizons, I don’t know how things would have ended up. I’m sure I wouldn’t be sitting here today with such a good story to tell. I’m so grateful.”
For mums like Madison, when everyone else says ‘no’, we want to say ‘yes’. That’s why we exist – to stand in the gap with them.
