I’m creating this fundraiser because I was sexually assaulted, and I am now facing the painful aftermath of that trauma while trying to seek justice. One of the hardest parts of this experience was the delayed emergency response. Even though 10 calls were made, help did not reach me for more than 4 hours. During everything that happened, a gun was also found in the home that I was unaware of, which made this experience even more frightening and traumatic. No one should ever have to go through something so devastating and then be left waiting for police and ambulance services to respond. I am sharing this because the delay is part of why I need help now, and because I want people to understand how deeply this has affected me.

The funds raised will go toward lawyer fees as I try to move forward and protect my rights. I am asking for support not only to help with these legal costs, but also to help bring awareness to what happened to me and to others who have experienced sexual violence and were not treated with the urgency they deserved. Please consider helping by donating or sharing my fundraiser. Your support means so much to me, and I hope this also helps send a message that sexual assault must be treated as a top priority and that no survivor should ever be left waiting for help.
