The Gabby Petito Foundation donated $100,000 to the National Domestic Violence Hotline following a sharp increase in calls in the wake of Petito's disappearance.
In the days after Petito's death was ruled a homicide by manual strangulation, the National Domestic Violence Hotline reported it received a record number of calls from people in abusive relationships seeking support. "Everybody has a Gabby in their life, a girl or a person in their life that they love and they're worried about." "She's saving lives. People see themselves in her. People from all walks of life, they see a situation they don't want to be in." Yael Halon is a reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to yael.halon@fox.com.
Katie Ray-Jones, CEO of the National Domestic Violence Hotline, told Fox News' Laura Ingle that calls have increased to an average of 80,000 a month since information of Petito's death was revealed. With significantly more callers seeking guidance, the hotline has been struggling to keep up with staffing and funding.
