<div>I am fighting for my life and my neighbors lives right now. For the last few days, I have been breathing in air contaminated by raw sewage that flooded my apartment. The corporate owners, Bryten Real Estate Partners, eventually sent a crew to clear the visible waste, but that didn't solve the problem.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I want to be very clear about why I am still so sick. Just because the floors look clean now does not mean the home is safe. When raw sewage sits in a house, it releases microscopic bacteria and toxins into the air. Every time I breathe, I am taking those poisons into my lungs. Because of my medical history<strong> (spinal cord injury, collapsed lung, breathing machine)</strong> and being immunocompromised, my body cannot fight these pathogens off like a healthy person’s could (and ‘healthy’ people still die from this) My immune system is already under a heavy load, and breathing in these toxins is a direct threat to my life.

<div>Two different doctors have confirmed that my lungs are in distress and my home is a life-threatening environment. My lungs have been on fire for days. My doctors have legally told me I cannot go back into that apartment until it passes a real, scientific air test.

</div>
<div>I send Bryten emails tirelessly. They do not respond. I’m sure the “Freeze” is advice from their lawyers.

<div>Management has been heartless. They only offered to test the air after my doctors made it a requirement. But even then, they tried to use a test that wouldn't actually find the toxins making me sick. As soon as I sent them a list of the actual scientific standards needed to prove the air was safe, they canceled the testing. They would rather leave me sick and displaced than pay for a test they can’t fake.

</div>
<div>They also lied to my renter’s insurance, and they’ve ceased communication with me. I am left with no financial support from them at all. <strong>My next-door neighbor has a two-year-old child living in worse conditions, and Bryten Real Estate Partners knows that, but they still refuse to do the right thing.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve had to stop my training and my coaching is on hold. Right now, I simply don’t have the physical or mental capacity to work or make the videos you all love. I am exhausted and I’m facing being penniless while I fight for my survival.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am setting my initial goal at $5,000 for my absolute necessities. Here is exactly where that money is going:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>•$1,000 to $1,500 for <strong>Displacement Costs</strong>: This covers the immediate costs of being forced out of my home, including moving my essentials, temporary storage, and the daily costs of navigating life while being displaced.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• $2,500 to $3,500 for <strong>Loss of Livelihood</strong>: This covers 4 to 6 weeks of my basic bills, food, and transport so I can survive while I am physically unable to earn an income.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>•$1,500 to $2,000 for <strong>Medical Costs:</strong> This covers my specialist co-pays for pulmonology and neurology, along with the medications I need to treat my lungs and my nervous system.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I would be beyond grateful to hit this $5,000 goal just to cover these necessities. If possible, I would also like to raise an additional $3,000 for my own independent air testing. Since Bryten is not complying with safety standards, I have to fund this professional testing myself to prove the environment is toxic and protect my legal case.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I won’t stop fighting this. I am holding this corporation accountable so they can’t do this to anyone else. I waited until the very last second to ask for help because I hate doing it, but I’m out of options. The only reason I’ve even gotten them to do the bare minimum is because of you all. Thank you for your generosity and thank you for being my village. I would NOT be able to advocate for myself and my neighbors if it wasn’t for you, even if you cannot give, please know you are helping me immensely just by being here.
