I was scammed out of nearly all my savings by a group of people pretending to be from my bank and federal agencies. They convinced me to transfer my nest egg, which was a gift from my late husband, under the guise of helping them catch criminals within the bank. I lost almost everything, and the authorities have not been able to recover the funds. This experience has been devastating, especially after losing my husband in September of 2025. The scammers were convincing, and I fell for their act, believing I was helping to stop wrongdoing at my bank. It took almost three weeks after the incident before the police reached out to me, and I have little hope that I will ever see this money again.

Since this happened, I can hardly eat or sleep. I can't trust anything or anyone, and I am at risk of losing my home. I need support to get back on my feet and avoid having to sell my home. The money is gone, and I am struggling to regain stability. Any help would mean the world to me as I try to recover from this ordeal.

First, I want people to be aware and not fall victim to a scam like I did. Any kindness and support will go a long way to renewing my faith in humanity. Thank you for reading my story and considering a donation.
