Help True Crime Advocate with Medical Costs

Donation protected
In 2020 I underwent a major operation on my spine that would result in my need to medically retire from my legal career. Despite living with chronic health issues I decided to make a YouTube True Crime Channel called "Behind Criminal Minds". Over the last few years I have had the incredible fortune of sharing my passion for storytelling & victims advocacy with a growing community of truly exceptional people.

Unfortunately in 2023 I began to develop chronic symptoms that were initially labeled as "Long Covid", but eventually the symptoms would grow concerning enough that I was hospitalized because of the ongoing bleeding that I still suffer from on a daily basis. Despite staying fit, eating healthy, never drinking alcohol or smoking of any kind, my health has only continued to worsen.

I now need exploratory testing in order to ascertain if surgery is needed, however the cost for that testing has far exceeded my financial resources. Additionally, I lost my health insurance and do not have the ability to pay for the monthly cost without help. Your donations will go towards the cost to securing the health insurance that I desperately need (approx. $500 a month), as well as the various medical procedures & testing that I need to have done (estimated cost of $15 to $20K with coinsurance).

I want to continue to be a vocal advocate for every case that I cover, and I cannot begin to thank you enough for being willing to help me. This is something that I never dreamed I would have to do, but I please know that I am so incredibly grateful for your support and kindness. It means the world to me, and even if you cannot help, just having your support is all that I could ever hope for.

So again, thank you for your kind consideration, your support, and for all the ways that you have continued to partner with me.
