My name is Kareem Woodson. I have been living in Fort Myers, FL for almost 2 years now, and right before the holidays, I lost my job and have been living out of my car.

Two months ago, my civil rights were violated by the Lee County Sheriff’s Department for placing me under the Baker Act when I never fit the criteria of the law. They took me away in handcuffs from my place of employment, and that contributed to me losing my job. Not to mention, my job informed me on two separate occasions I would still have my job once I returned to work after they told me to take the rest of the week off. Then they used the reason of me not performing well during my probation period, but never mentioned this in my 60-day probation meeting review. I held a management position at the time I was let go. Now I need help to hire a lawyer for civil rights and wrongful termination.

To top everything off, my vehicle was towed away and I have no way to get it back or take my daughter to and from school. I need all the help I can get as I am trying to piece my life back together. Thank you all for your support.
