Help Liisa Overcome Financial Challenges & Toxic Neighbors

Breaking Free: Project Righting the Ship and Escaping Extreme Toxic Neighbors

Hey, I'm Liisa and I'm already saying thank you for the help.

I've tried really hard and now it's time to reach out for solutions.

This GoFundMe will cover:

Security deposit and rent, medical expenses, moving costs, and a car repair.

I'm out of this place by July 15th, and still looking for a place to land.

Anything that exceeds these expenses, will go to the NAVA Fund to pay it forward.

Here's what happened and Here's what I'm trying to do about it.

So, four things happened all at once,

1. A coaching platform I was having great success helping people in, forced me out.

It was a large part of my income, wiped from the books. It was dishonest & ugly. (receipts, yes.)

2. The book company I'd been working with for 4 successful years restructured their audiobook department and then reneged on the new 2 year contract they offered me, several months shy of a year in, leaving me in the lurch for thousands of dollars as they delayed, then ghosted me for months of agreed on work.

3. 2 recurring food photography clients switched to AI imagery.

4. The Dank Tower. A new neighbor moved in below me in Feb. and smokes an extreme amount of pot twice a day. Landlord doesn't care.

The smoke travels up into my unit and drugs me. I'm allergic to pot and I get ill from waking up in a cloud of their smoke, or having to finish a zoom meeting with it filling in my office.

This is a no smoking building, no smoking lease. I offered them addresses of places to get edibles. They don't care. The landlord simply sent out a disclaimer absolving him of any responsibility, then gaslit me about it. (another neighbor with a teenaged son can't open their windows or the son gets pot smoke filling his bedroom)

With my whole chest, Party as you like, but don't drug your neighbors without consent.

The icing on this cake is some intermittent DV I hear through the walls.

This used to be such a lovely haven of quiet and peaceful living.

2 more hits to my world:

Then I righted the ship with a new audiobook company - Golden! Not So Fast.....

I got 26 chapters in and they have just put all books on hold.

I don't know if or when it will begin again, nor can I count on getting paid for the weeks of work I've already done.

My car had a huge transmission leak that needed repair. I'm safe, I'm so lucky I didn't break down in the middle of the mountains, it could've been so much worse. I'm grateful for my safety, but it killed my wallet.

I've put off asking for this help until the last minute because I thought the new job and new signed contract was going to handle the holes in my boat.

I've never been comfortable asking for help so this is Extremely hard to do. The shame is large.

What I'm doing about it:

I'm looking for work again. I'm selling my furniture and items and hope to get them to a good home.

I'm open for work in Voiceover, Voiceover Coaching, PR Marketing, food photography,

I bake incredible gluten-free cookies & cakes, and I read tarot.
