Help with High Court legal costs

Now that we have had my mother's funeral, I can turn my attention to another pressing matter, of a legal nature this time. As many of you know, for more than two years I have had issues with a man stalking and harassing me. I took successful court action against him but now I face a claim made in the High Court by a close associate of his, (the “Associate”). It is alleged that I, and eleven others, have harassed the Associate online and conspired to injure the Associate by, amongst other things:

Making false, vexatious complaints to:

The Liberal Democrats,

The chambers to which the Associate belongs,

The Bar Standards Board,

The Police,

Harassed the Associate’s campaigns manager,

Unlawfully pried on their homelife by instructing private investigators,

Breached an undertaking to the court,

Accused the Associate of involvement in a criminal act.

The Associate is making accusations that I am harassing my stalker and part of a 'gang' of online bullies. She is an expelled Liberal Democrat Party member, whom I have never met. We have had one exchange on Twitter where I asked the Associate to leave me alone (because of their association with my stalker), blocked them, and sent a Cease and Desist.

This person has been making such accusations since just after my brother died late last year. In my professional career, amongst other roles, I'm an established author, researcher, and policy designer in tackling online abuse; I don't create it. I'm still picking up the pieces of a life shattered by the stalker; now I'm being targeted again - this time by his Associate.

If you would like to help me financially in fighting this person's legal attack (booked for 24 November, at the High Court), David, my family and I will be eternally grateful. I am happy to refund support upon a successful defence and award of costs. I will provide proof of all costs and payments made (as I did with fundraising for my disabled dog's surgeries during lockdown).

I don't ask lightly; I know the likely response from some quarters on and off social media. But I need help. So by all means make your online details anonymous and available to me only, so that you don't get hassled either.

Thank you.
