Stand Up For Justice. Stand With Me.
Donation protected
I never thought I’d be here — fighting not just for my home, but for my dignity, safety, and the basic rights every tenant deserves. My landlord has subjected me to months of abuse, threats, and dangerous living conditions — and now I’m seeking justice in a court of law. This isn’t just about me. If they can get away with this, they can do it to anyone.
What I’ve Endured & Documented
• Fraud & Misrepresentation — rent collected illegally by someone not even on the lease.
• Threats & Harassment — including to my elderly father.
• Reckless Endangerment — no HVAC for over a month during extreme heat.
• Destruction & Theft of Property — including security cameras I installed for protection.
• Retaliation — lease changes and eviction tactics after I reported violations to the city. • Constructive Eviction — creating unlivable conditions to force me out. City agencies have already cited the property for multiple code violations, but the abuse hasn’t stopped. I’ve filed police reports, gathered evidence, and built a strong legal case — but I can’t take this fight all the way without legal representation.
Why I Need Your Help
I’m raising funds to cover legal fees so I can hold them accountable for every crime and rights violation they’ve committed. Every dollar will go toward securing an attorney who can take this to court and make sure they face consequences.
How You Can Stand With Me
1. Donate — Every contribution gets me closer to hiring the representation I need.
2. Share — Help spread my story so others know they’re not alone in situations like this.
3. Stand With Me — Your support tells my landlord, and the system, that tenants will not be bullied into silence. I’m fighting not just for justice in my case — but to send a message that abuse, fraud, and retaliation will not be tolerated. Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing with me in this fight.
