Facing huge difficulties,Lucas plotted her and her sons’ escape.While her husband was out of town,she forged (伪造) his permission for their travel (a requirement) and a check in his name (she had no access to her own money) and stole back to the States.She settled in Oregon,living off welfare checks,and,after her husband tracked her down,fought a long battle,which she won.

　　All the while,she nursed a dream:to help other battered women living overseas.In 2001,she started AODVCC with help from a few small contributions from donors.In 2010,the Department of Justice stepped up with funding.With a free hotline in 175 countries,the organization now supports hundreds of American families in more than 67 countries.Today,at least one family returns safely to the United States each month with Lucas’s help.

　　“We need to make women aware of the problems if they find themselves in an abusive situation,” says Lucas,now remarried.“I was one of the lucky ones.”
