Graphic with a whimisical cartoon of an RV in the sunshine alerts to a mutual aid need: title, surrounded by alarm emojis, says 'Urgent Help raise 6k for a functional RV ASAP', followed by an explanation: 'Elle & her husband are at HUGE risk from their landlord, who has been stealing her underwear, physically abusive, and limits their access to a working bathroom. If they can get a functional RV, they can escape, and survive on gig work whilst seeking secure employment. Currently they are TRAPPED!!' You are directed to support via ko-fi.com/elleandhusband - a purple heart emoji has 'tysm!' in the middle, and you are also told 'Anything helps'

Elle and her husband are still stuck in their abusive living situation being violated by their landlord.

Anything helps them build towards an escape: www.ko-fi.com/elleandhusband

Thanks for all shares, sends, and any encouragement for them 💜💜
