My name is Lee and I’m asking for help during a very difficult time for my family.

For over a decade, I’ve been a caregiver, helping people manage serious health challenges through plant-based remedies and sustainable living practices. Over the last few years, I have been building a business around herbalism and natural alternatives to our modern healthcare system. After overcoming my own dependency on prescription opioids eight years ago, this work became my life’s purpose. I’ve helped people facing cancer, chronic pain, PTSD, insomnia, and addiction recovery—always with care, education, and respect for safety.

Recently, our family became the target of accusations stemming from a serious family dispute. These accusations led to law enforcement and child services investigations, despite a long record of cooperation and no prior issues with authorities. Our home was searched, I was arrested, and my family’s stability and livelihood were suddenly in jeopardy over some cannabis compliancy concerns.

At the same time, my wife Christina has been the sole caregiver for her mother, Kim, who suffers from advanced dementia. Christina has cared for her full-time for the last six years while rising her two children alone. We brought her into our home after she could no longer care for herself. We have worked openly with medical professionals and local agencies to ensure she is cared for properly. While we were working to pack up her home and valuables, everything was stolen or destroyed by her son.

We are now facing overwhelming legal expenses, lost income, and the emotional toll of having our lives turned upside down. The funds raised will go toward:

• Legal defense and court costs

• Protecting our home and caring for our children and Kim

We are a peaceful, hardworking family trying to hold things together while navigating a system that feels stacked against us. If you’ve ever experienced injustice, family betrayal, or the fear of losing everything you’ve worked for, your support—whether through donation or sharing—means more than we can express.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for standing with us during this painful chapter.
