Nikki's Whistleblower Relief Fund

Let me preface this by saying that this is the most embarassing thing I've ever had to do.  That said...

My name is Nichole Goluskin, and I also perform comedy music under the stage name of Nikki Lynn Katt.  About a year and a half ago, I started to disappear from Facebook and Twitter, and then from my friends and family, and then eventually from the rest of the world. A lot of people have reached out to me over the last year and a half asking what has happened to me and where I've been. Up until now, I have been silent.  But I’d really like to reenter the world now, and it's about time, because I actually really need help.  So I’m going to tell you what has happened to me now. You can find the whole story here:

The short version is that my boss at Paramount Pictures was embezzling money from the health care and pension funds of entertainment industry labor unions, and I had to stand up for my friends' health care and ended up becoming a whistleblower. I was subsequently terminated and have been in a whistleblower retaliation and wrongful termination case through the Department of Labor all this time. That is where I’ve been for the last year and a half.  I have to see my Paramount case all the way through until justice is served, but it's left me financially devastated. 

If you’re not a fan of studio execs stealing money from the pension and health care funds of the artists and workers who make the films and television that pay their million dollar a year salaries,  maybe you could help me out as I fight against this.  There is no financial relief for the whistleblower while he or she fights for what is good and right.  People don't really want to hire a whistleblower, especially not in the entertainment industry.  I've been afraid for a year that I wouldn't be able to find enough resources to get by during this time, and now that point has finally come. 

If you make a contribution, you'd be helping to pay for my life for a little while, and I would be eternally grateful.

If you gotten this far, thank you very much for reading,  I really appreciate your time, and I look forward to reestablishing my relationships with my friends again.

-Nikki
