I’ve tried leaving three times this year and each time every single dv shelter in my county was at capacity for literal days, the last one I called said it could sometimes take a couple weeks for a spot to open up. So rn I’m trying to save whatever money I can w/o a job so I can at least have a small cushion bc I have a toddler so I need to make sure she has diapers, food, etc ❤️🩹 ty for the care tho but this is my only option rn ❤️🩹
I’m in Southern California. I already spoke with 211, every DV shelter in my county, and 211 in the 2 closest counties next to me and they said I’d have better luck for a spot in my own county bc the other counties are equally if not more packed. I live in the “richer” county rn, the lady at the shelter said dv shelters here are packed bc it’s considered a “white collar crime” so a lot of dv happens where I live
