Hi, my name is Lauren and I am asking you to help save my life. I know that sounds a little overdramatic, and I don't want to believe it myself, but my state is days away from making it illegal for me to exist in public, punishable by being sent to a men's prison where I would be brutalized, raped, and murdered.

I hate having to ask for help with so many other people in equally dire straits, and I have done everything I can to work and save but I am running out of time, and honestly I am terrified. My friends will tell you I don't scare easy and asking for help is even harder for me, but I have no other choice.

If you could spare anything, even a minute to share this wherever you post on social media, you will be saving my life. I will be beyond grateful and never forget your kindness.

Thank you so much,

Lauren
