My name is crystal, and I’ve worked in roofing and siding since 2008. In 2023, I was working for a large building company, always trying to do my best and keep my team busy. By March 2024, I hadn’t been paid in over 30 days, but I kept going, hoping things would turn around. Instead, I faced harassment from a supervisor, and others were encouraged to think badly of me after a disagreement. Even after reaching out to corporate four times, I never got the support I needed. My health started to suffer, and I finally made the difficult decision to leave in June 2024.

Before I left, I was owed a significant payment for my work, but the company canceled my check for no reason. I’ve always tried to do the right thing—paying my subcontractors, keeping prices low, and making sure warranty work was done, even when it wasn’t my fault. Now, I’m struggling to pay my lawyer, catch up on bills, and pay the last few people who helped me keep things going. I have proof of everything, but for legal reasons, I need to keep names private for now.

There are a few people who have been there for me from the start. I was told to file bankruptcy, but that’s not who I am—I am owed this money, and it’s only right that the company pays me. Thank you to the companies and friends who have helped me so far. I promise I won’t stop until justice is served. Any help you can give means the world to me, and I’ll always be there for you in your time of need.
