Help me Rebuild after losing everything to an online scam!

This is the most vulnerable thing I’ve ever shared.

Just days ago, my entire bank account and savings were wiped out in a sophisticated online scam. Everything I worked so hard to build — gone in an instant. I’m still in shock and heartbreak trying to understand how this happened.

I’ve reported everything to the police, submitted every possible online complaint, and my bank is currently investigating. But as of now, there’s no promise I’ll be reimbursed.

To make it even more complicated, I’m scheduled to leave the country in just a few days for a trip that was already paid for. But now, I’ll be going with absolutely nothing — no money, no cushion, no backup plan.

Even more terrifying, I have bills that are already scheduled to be automatically withdrawn while I’m gone — including rent, car payments, and insurance. These essential expenses are now at risk of bouncing or putting me in deeper crisis.

What was stolen from me wasn’t just money — it was my security, my confidence, and my trust in the world. I’ve always been someone who tries to figure things out on my own. I never imagined I’d be in a place where I’d need to ask for help like this. But here I am — doing just that.

If you feel moved to support me in any way, even $1 would mean more than you know. Your donation will go directly toward:

• Covering immediate bills (like rent and car payments)

• Rebuilding the savings that were stolen

• Giving me a small sense of safety again

If you’re unable to give, I completely understand. All I ask is that you send a prayer or a kind thought for healing and peace as I navigate this incredibly difficult chapter.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Thank you for seeing me. And thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for reminding me that good people still exist.

With love and gratitude,

Amber Lilly Baker
