My husband Clay has always been a source of strength and support for those around him. He is a wonderful and brilliant man who has helped many people in times of duress, offering guidance and compassion when it was needed most. Now, we find ourselves in a situation we never imagined—Clay has been convicted of a crime he did not commit. The judge did not listen to the evidence presented, and despite our best efforts, the verdict was not in our favor. We are now appealing the decision in the court of criminal appeals, holding onto hope that justice will prevail and Clay will be exonerated.

This process has been incredibly difficult for our family, both emotionally and financially. The costs of hiring a lawyer, covering legal fees, and managing the many expenses that come with an appeal are overwhelming. In addition, we must provide for Clay’s needs while he is in jail, including monthly concessions and any other necessities that arise during this challenging time. Your support will help us continue the fight for justice and ensure that Clay has the resources he needs until he is released.

We are reaching out to our community, friends, and anyone who believes in justice to ask for your help. Clay has always been there for others, and now he needs your support more than ever. We are deeply grateful for any contribution you can make, and we remain hopeful that the verdict may be overturned. Thank you for standing with us during this difficult journey.
