Help Issy Rebuild After Whistleblowing in the Met Police

My name is Issy Vine, and I’m asking for help to rebuild my life after losing everything for doing what I believed was right.

While serving in the Metropolitan Police, I spoke out about serious wrongdoing. What followed changed my life forever. I faced relentless retaliation, isolation, and cruelty from within my own workplace — to the point where I was driven to the edge. The sustained bullying and harassment left me struggling with PTSD and a serious autoimmune disease brought on by extreme stress.

Eventually, I had no choice but to resign to save my life. In doing so, I lost not only my career but my stability, my health, and nearly all of my possessions. I had to sell my car and belongings just to survive.

I’m now working two jobs — one of them voluntary — but my health limits how much I can do. Despite my best efforts, I’m struggling to get back on my feet and rebuild from the ground up.

This fundraiser is to help me with:

• Basic living costs while I recover my health

• Replacement of essential items I had to sell or give up

• Legal or therapy costs related to trauma recovery

• A chance to start again — safely and independently

I never imagined I’d need to ask for help like this, but after losing everything for standing up for what’s right, I need a community to help me rebuild.

If you can contribute — even a small amount — or share my story, it would mean more than I can ever express.

Thank you for helping me find hope and stability again.

With love and gratitude,

Issy
