When Oksana Potozka fled from Ukraine in 1989 she thought she would be safe in America and she could start a new life with her family.
She said her husband had always been verbally abusive, but after their five children grew up and moved out the abuse became physical.
Last year, Potozka realized she was not safe in their home, so she left. Potozka is a certified interpreter and had a job working over the phone for a company in Houston, but when she lost her house, she also lost her phone.
