Hi, my name is Nora Casanova and I'm asking for financial help and support. I've been repeatedly mistreated by the police and society, which has forced me having to pay unjust fines of around 6000€.

I'm a 28 year old, QUEER WOMAN, originally from the Canary Islands, Spain. I'm MIXED RACE. Part of my family is from Venezuela, my grandmother was an Afro-Venezuelan fighter.

That said, I don't have a good relationship with my parents nor do I benefit from a healthy family situation.

I've been sexually abused, harassed, and manipulated since I was a young child. I have suffered abuse from the people I was close to as well as complete strangers.

I was born with depression. I have been diagnosed with OCD and borderline personality disorder, plus, I have an eating disorder and anxiety. BANG!

4 years ago, after years of therapy, I began to undergo a psychiatric treatment that wasn't right for me, and as a result my mental stability was badly affected.

A year and a half ago, I was assaulted on my way to an appointment with my psichiatrist. I was assaulted by a POLICEMAN in the middle of the street. The assault occured after I tried to cross a street he was blocking, after I had explained my emergency. The assault resulted in me having a psychotic attack and when I finally realised what was happening, 6 POLICEMEN were on top of me. 6 bodies strangling and hitting me. 6 MALES threatening everyone on the street that tried to help me.

I was detained. I was drugged. I was sexualised. I was racialised. I was threatened. I was abused in many ways in just one day and one night. When I got out, less than a month after, a similar trauma happened again when I was going to see my lawyer. This time I wasn't physically resisting. It didn't matter due to police abusing their power.

Now, I'm facing these unaffordable fines, depression, social anxiety fits of rage and insomnia, because of an apparent attack against the authories!! I have to pay it because either I pay around 6000€ or I face 1 year in PRISON.

At the moment, I'm receiving unemployment benefit of 700€ per month because I keep getting fired due to my unstable mental health. I pay 800€ a month for rent. I don't have sufficient funds or savings to pay the fines, therapy or even pay my rent. I know that I'm not the only person that's facing police brutality and the corrupted justice system.

I'm asking for any financial support that you can provide. If you can donate and help me pay my fines, I would be forever grateful, as it would give me some stability and peace of mind. If you can recommend me a safe space to work that would be really helpful, also if you can share this.

Thank you all so much!
