This week, I learned that I owe a significant amount in court costs and probation fees, and I’m required to pay it by March 1st. If I can’t, I’ll be in violation of probation and could be sentenced to several years in prison. My original charges were related to substance use, but since then, I’ve done everything I was supposed to do—and more. I have nearly a year and a half clean, I’m actively working my recovery, rebuilding my relationships, and creating a stable, healthy life for myself. I’ve stayed compliant with probation and taken full responsibility for my past.

Recently, I lost my only source of income, and despite actively trying to get back on my feet, I don’t have the ability to come up with this amount in such a short timeframe on my own. This fundraiser isn’t about avoiding consequences—it’s about not being punished further for a past I’ve already worked incredibly hard to change. I’m asking for help so I can stay free, stay clean, and continue building the life I’ve fought for. Any support means the world to me, and I’m deeply grateful for anyone willing to help.
