DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ALERT! ⚠️🚨
A CALL FOR IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION!
Esteemed friends, partners, and supporters,
We are compelled by extreme urgency to bring to your immediate attention a critical case involving one of the families currently under our care at the Òwè Family Care Foundation.
In our line of family interventions, we frequently encounter heartbreaking relational instability. The most painful of these cases are those where innocent children are trapped between parents who are so overwhelmed by life's pressures that they are temporarily unable to navigate their crises alone.
Four weeks ago, a young mother of two boys (ages 3 and 1) reached out to us. Both she and her husband are currently unemployed. As a breastfeeding mother, she faces the daily, grueling reality of hunger. Compounding this economic hardship, her husband’s frustration over unemployment has turned into severe physical abuse. He has resorted to beating her repeatedly.
Just this morning, the husband assaulted her yet again, an attack so violent it nearly resulted in a fatal injury to one of their babies.
While Òwè continues to provide intensive counseling to help them emotionally regulate, break generational patterns, and heal, we cannot ignore the harsh economic forces driving this desperation.
Our Family Care and Counselling pillar is designed to restore trust, communication, and emotional safety in the home. However, to prevent families from relapsing into violence, we must often step in with emergency food and stipends. Since opening our doors, the sheer volume of these desperate cases has stretched our resources remarkably thin. We are stretched to our limits.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
We cannot do this alone. We are calling on our community to step in immediately to help us secure this family's future.
1. We need to help this young mother establish a small, sustainable business so she can provide for herself and her two little boys.
2. Financial support to ensure she has food security as a breastfeeding mother and immediate medical/nutritional care for the infants.
AN OPEN RECORD & APPEAL
We are making this public post to place this case on the open record. This is a direct, firm, yet humble appeal to the husband. The violence must stop immediately. Abuse is never the answer to economic frustration. Healing and a thriving family are still possible, and Òwè Family Care Foundation is here to guide you through that process—but peace and safety must come first.
We will keep you closely updated on this situation. Thank you for standing with us to protect the vulnerable.
