Question I was in an abusive relationship in Las Vegas, NV. I was finally able to escape the house to call 911. I filed a report with the police and hitched rides with truckers to Portland, OR. I am now an emotional basket case and penniless in Portland, OR.
I would like to take advantage of all the resources available to a victim of crime like myself. Do I contact NV state agencies or OR state agencies?
