My name is Lana Boykin, and Once Upon A Time I was Luke Boykin...a lost little "boy" that was really a lost little girl in a toxic family.

I fought my entire life to find and be my truth, which happened Nov, 1rst, 2021, my Sweet November

I found my truth in those years...but after losing both my mother and father to cancer, along with being diagnosed with a rare genetic eye disorder that's taking my eyesight, life's has been hard to say the least but I'm managing

In short, I fell into my "Darkest Night of the Soul", my Season of Death", and then lost myself until a wonderful group of women helped save my life. ✨

After my first time in recovery, and what they call.mental health court, the reinvention of a clearer me began to emerge and heal...and ever since then evey single day has been a blessing...I find gratitude in the smallest things and give back by helping others when I can ❤❤❤

That being said, something has come back from my past to haunt me, which is a bench warrant from.not returning video games from the late 90s and today they are asking for $349.88 to drop the bench warrant, then make monthly payments on it, or pay the entire debt once and for all to end it, which is $1,188.00.

I'm both scared and terrified that if I can't pay this, they are eventually going to lock me for something I did over 20 years ago that I was told by an attorney was taken care of.

That attorney was wrong...and here I am facing another possible horrific event from a mistake a little kid did long ago, and now, right after losing my father most recently to cancer, and at 47 losing my eyesight, Im trying my very best just to be myself and be a good part of a town and community that I've fallen in love with and perhaps live out what's left of my hope and dreams....

Port Angeles is my home and my heart belongs here.

I came here on a promise to my late mother to learn to live myself, and for the first time in my life I'm starting to know what that is and actually do it :)

Nothing worth while is easy but I'm okay with that...I don't mind hard.

I just don't want to lose anymore than I already have, and become more traumatized by it.

I am trying so hard to raise this money now, so I can stop this horrible thing from hindering my life any further, amd I can finally move on.

If anyone out there can help in anyways at all, I'd be beyond greatful with words but if not, that's okay too.

I'm very greatful if anyone even takes the time to read all this and cares.

Thank you for your time and energy put into this, and may whomever reads this, have a wonderful day regardless of helping or not.

Thank you with ll my heart ❤
