Fighting for What's Mine—While Trying to Stay Afloat

Hi, my name is Michelle, and this is one of the hardest things I've ever had to write.

Since September 2024, I've been in the middle of a brutal investigation and now legal fight to recover months of unpaid wages from a former employer—money I worked hard for and desperately needed to survive. What's made this even more complicated is that this wasn't just about a paycheck—it was about surviving an environment of financial and emotional abuse that left me drained, disrespected, and struggling to recover in every way.

I've tried to stay strong, professional, and hopeful, but the emotional and financial toll has been real. Rent, bills, groceries, medical needs—everything has added up while I wait for this case to settle.

I'm not just navigating a legal battle—I've also been working hard to keep my small PR business afloat. Even in survival mode, I've continued helping clients for little to nothing and working hard in my craft because I believe in what I do. But right now, I'm facing the painful reality that I may have to close the doors on the business and life I've worked so hard to build.

I've applied for a lot of jobs, downsized everything I can, cut expenses, sold things, and pushed through—but it's still not enough.

I'm not asking for pity. I'm asking for some help to get through this moment so I can keep going. Whether it's $5, sharing this link, or simply sending love, your support means more than I can put into words.

This isn't just about bills. It's about reclaiming my life, work, and peace of mind. I'm fighting for what I'm owed, but I'm also trying to make it through the day-to-day until that fight ends.

Thank you for reading this. Thank you for believing that people deserve to be paid for their work. And thank you—truly—for any support you can give.
