Help Maria & Franklin Reclaim Safety After Illegal Eviction & Systemic Harm

Hi- I’m Maria. I’m a late diagnosed Autistic woman with ADHD, C-PTSD and PMDD. But more than those labels, I'm also a trauma-informed community builder, certified yoga instructor [hope to teach again soon] and survivor of narcissistic abuse and domestic violence. For close to 10 years, I ran a successful business—Sunshine Tangerine Professional Cleaning Services LLC—taught yoga classes for several different gyms, studios, schools, addiction recovery centers—and lived in my home of 14 years, with just one year left on the mortgage as of 2024.

But everything changed, drastically. Not only was I forced to leave my home due to foreclosures*, but the last day in my home, my 17 year old German Shepard Rottweiler, Abbey Dabbey Doodle Bug started whimpering in pain. I knew I had to say goodbye. I was crushed. My beloved dog of 17 years passing away, the last day in my beloved home. I wish that sad story ended there, but it doesn’t. When I arrived home, I quickly realized that the guys that were supposed to be scrapping my washer, dryer, and stove—THEY ROBBED ME!!! — They stole everything I had listed on Facebook Market Place, which was close to $3,000 worth of items, PLUS ALL OF MY MEDICATION that I had just gotten filled. [There's literally so much more to this story, but it's too exhausting and traumatic to go into every detail right now]

>CONTINUE ON...

Due to domestic violence and narcissistic abuse, I lost my home, my business, and my health. Last summer, I experienced homelessness. And now, I’m facing homelessness & housing instability again after my landlord abruptly and illegally, demanded I move out—unjustified and unfairly.

[And yes, I ALWAYS HAVE PROOF OF THE TRUTH]

To make matters worse, I was illegally evicted as I mentioned, retaliated against, locked out, and slandered—which has directly impacted my ability to secure housing and rebuild. I am currently seeking legal remedies to hold those responsible accountable and to PROTECT MY RIGHTS. The slander and defamation of character against myself and MY CERTIFIED PTSD SERVICE DOG, Franklin, has caused a larger systemic barrier to access emergency housing.

As an AuDHD individual, trauma has profoundly impacted my brain and nervous system. I live with severe neurological injuries caused by prolonged abuse—what my doctors describe as the result of how trauma rewires the nervous system, especially in neurodivergent survivors.

Because of this, I’ve been taken out of work by my medical team. I’m not able to produce, perform, or push through. I’m simply trying to survive. The Never Ending Cycle of Comparing Myself to My Old Self, Coupled with Insensitive Comments From Society/Friends/Family - Saying Things Like: "Have You Thought About Getting A Part Time Job?" or "Why Don't You Start Your Cleaning Business Again?" or "Just Put Your Mind to It, It's Mind Over Matter!".

Your support will help me:

- Secure safe, stable housing

- Cover basic living expenses

- Access necessary veterinary care for my CERTIFIED PTSD SERVICE DOG

- Pursue legal justice without financial strain

- Find peace, rebuild and heal without pressure or fear

This isn’t a fundraiser for a project. It’s a lifeline. As a Trauma Survivor, Safe and Stable Housing Isn't A Luxury, It's a LITERAL NECESSITY & REQUIREMENT For Survival! Otherwise, We [trauma survivors] Stay Stuck In A Trauma Loop.

And, I mean Really, is SAFETY & STABILITY really asking that much?? It seems like those are unattainable sometimes, but I believe everything happens for a reason [yepp, even the really crappy stuff

Before this rupture, I was finally starting to rebuild. I had written out a full goal plan, started executing it, and was preparing to publish my books. I was building a vibrant community on Discord, with a dedicated subscriber section, providing resources and psychoeducation for other AuDHD individuals navigating narcissistic abuse recovery and healing from Codependency. (now paused until I regain stability). I am still facilitating and hosting my regular, three times weekly Codependents Anonymous meetings, "Neurodivergents in Recovery". Although, I am afraid that I may run out of data.

I was finally gaining momentum—and it was taken from me.

If you’ve ever benefited from trauma-informed care, emotional labor, or spaces that made you feel seen, heard, understood, valid & safe—this is a chance to support someone who’s offered that to others for years, even when it wasn’t reciprocated.

I’m asking for help so I can rebuild—not from ambition, like I once had [a seemingly endless amount of] but from necessity.

Thank you for seeing me. Thank you for believing in my right to peace, safety, and dignity.

With love and resilience,

Maria

♎️Asking For Help Has Never Came Easy To Me and Over The Last 5 Years, I Have Had To Ask For Help A Few Times. Unfortunately — Most of Those Times, I Was Met With Silence, Judgement, Blame, Shame or Simply Ignored. Just Typing & Posting This Has Made Me Feel Anxious and Stressed Out. I Really Don't Have Much of A Choice.. So, I am Putting It In God's Hands Now. My Faith Must Carry Me Through This. -

[I do not hope that God will provide & take care of me- I TRUST & KNOW HE WILL. This Time Something Feels Different ‍♀️]

Today August 31st is Franklin's 5th Birthday
