Help Michael Rebuild After Financial & Emotional Abuse”

My name is Michael Maurino, and I’m a survivor of long-term emotional and financial abuse. Over the last year, I was manipulated by someone who I believed was severely ill. She told me she had cancer, made repeated threats of self-harm, and made me feel like her survival depended on me. I sent money—over $30,000—to help, believing I was saving someone in need. She threatened to hurt me as well multiple times.
