It’s really hard to ask for help.

But I know we all do and we all need it sometimes… I didn’t do a go fund me 5 years ago when my house got damaged in the flood…but I am asking for help now.

I was a victim of a targeted cyber crime and with how good AI is now adays they are good at getting away with it. ☹️

I’ve lost nearly $13,000.00 and on top of that my credit score is ruined. Generally it’s making life really hard for me and baby Finn.

I can't believe it happened to me. Identity stolen, accounts compromised, and savings vanished in just a few minutes. These bad guys had manipulated official domains and transfer to cryptocurrency so there is nothing my bank can do to help.

It happened so professionally and so quickly. I was absolutely blindsided and shocked. And right before Christmas too. Now I feel embarrassed and violated, and my life savings is gone.

I’m selling my house in Haines next month to pay bills and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to buy another house myself again…which really sucks.

I'm hoping the kindness of friends, family, and strangers will help to pay current bills and help me give Finn a better future.

So, if you ever wanted to buy me a beer or a coffee, consider throwing the five bucks my way…

I'm so extremely grateful for you all, for your kindness and generosity during this hard time.
