My Safety Isn’t Optional — Phase 1 Fundraiser
Donation protected
Cashapp: $iamilluma / Venmo: iamilluma
When you go from thinking you’re safe to heal because you’ve physically moved away from narcissistic abuse, to realizing that your phone was cloned & access into your home network has turned you into an unknowing community punching bag and voyeuristic delight… it takes a minute to work past the betrayal & figure out what to do. But after years of being harassed, digitally/physically stalked, and having my privacy violated- I’m finally reclaiming my right to safety, privacy, and peace of mind. I silently documented and narrowed down exactly what was going on, and was too exhausted while still healing & working full time to fight… but not anymore.
I’ve quietly endured a long-term campaign of unwanted attention, manipulation, and psychological pressure that has affected my physical space, muted my ability to share my gifts with the world out of fear that they’d misuse something I said or did again, prevented me from feeling safe going places, talking to my friends (as they watched), celebrating or supporting friends, or taking performance gigs. This has deeply affected my emotional well-being. While I’ve taken action behind the scenes, the truth is that I’ve carried this alone for too long. That ends now.
This GoFundMe supports Phase 1 of my restoration and protection process- Securing my environment, strengthening my digital safety, and accessing legal support that’s often out of reach for people like me. I refuse to tolerate this any longer.

Why I’m Speaking Up Now:
As a neurodivergent woman, I’ve learned the hard way that people like me are disproportionately targeted because we trust people assuming they’re like us (and boy do we learn not to do that the hard way). When we do finally break free and try to report, we are rarely believed. The first time I submitted a police report I was spoken to in monotone as if I was a crazy person and told to “just disappear” to make it stop.
NO. I will NOT.
• Over 90% of neurodivergent women have experienced sexual harassment, stalking, or abuse.
• Neurodivergent people are seven times more likely to be victims of sexual violence.
• Most cases go unreported or dismissed, especially when abuse is psychological, digital, or systemic.
I refuse to be another one of those silenced statistics.

What This Fund Covers:
Without sharing specific tactics (for my own safety), this first-phase goal will help me:
• Replace compromised tech and rebuild digital privacy
• Fortify my physical safety
• Access legal resources and professional support
• Begin relocating from an unsafe environment
• Recover from the financial strain caused by years of unrecognized harm, inability to monetize my gifts, and constant stress which has severely impacted nearly every facet of my life.
⸻
Why It Matters:
This isn’t just about me alone; my recovery and safety will result in thousands of other people becoming educated and protecting themselves from these crimes as well. I have already begun to share my story on TikTok & I am in the process of creating resources to help us all.
I’m choosing to protect myself. I’m choosing to start again. And I’m asking for support from anyone who saw how my light dimmed, who knows the type of person I am, who has ever dealt with stalking or phone cloning, or had their privacy invaded, or been tracked without their knowledge just to entertain sick people with nothing better to do. The weight of this has been immense, but I’m finally brave enough to ask for help.
Every donation, share, and ounce of belief helps. Thank you so much for being a part of this turning point in my life!
