Seeking Justice and Safety for Our Family
Donation protected

I never ask for help, but there are no resources for self-employed individuals, and domestic violence resources do not include the category of people that I fit into.
I have spent thousands of dollars on legal fees, and Colorado has not only failed me but continually put me at risk.
Colorado favors abusers, and it seems that law enforcement is susceptible to the “good ole boys clubs” if the abuser pitches the right story.
I have been threatened, stalked, and my reputation has been attacked viciously by my abuser.
Law enforcement in my area has literally done nothing to help me with stalking using GPS devices—with witnesses, harassment, threats, slander and libel, false reporting, abuse of the legal system, and so much more.
I am exhausted, fighting for my safety, fighting to protect my daughter from the corrupt court system that favors abusers and from other corrupt agencies.
I have filed numerous VRA complaints and am currently advocating for myself nearly exclusively every week.
The attorney general's office can’t help me, and due to my location, 98% of resources in Colorado to help survivors get on their feet don’t service my area.
The local DA has failed me.
The judicial system in Colorado has failed me with a faulty victims' rights board and an empty position in the AG office for victims' rights for an unknown number of years—meaning Colorado has failed Colorado survivors in ensuring appropriately trained judges, LEO, activists, and more.
I have been supporting my fight, my business, my daughter, and trying to build a home for the last 2 years straight largely by myself minus some small pieces of assistance from family and friends.
My credit was damaged during my long 3 years of chronic abuse preceding the last 3 years of judicial/3rd party abuse/direct abuse and harassment and stalking.
I was not permitted to work without my livelihood or physical safety being threatened during those first 3 years, with additional issues of physical abuse to me and my service dog, and had a child I had to raise alone in an emergency exodus from the home… with zero financial assistance before, during, or after.
My child and I were both pushed off the stairs when my child was 3 months old, and that was in '22.
I have been accused of seriously heinous and malicious crimes that have not been true or have any basis in fact, but still, no protection besides the day-to-day protection I provide to my own environment.
Due to recurring legal fees and financial requirements in the legal system to continue the fight, I am very behind in finishing my home build.

I need to finish the foundation and get privacy fencing and security cameras set up on my property so I can get into a safe, controlled environment, because I currently live on Main Street and that puts me at EXTREME risk for a lot of issues (stalking, following, gangstalking, further harassment, and issues with obvious security). The next round of attacks are going to be much more aggressive than the previous ones.
Previously in the year, he accused me of threatening to shoot up a facility that educates BABIES and young children—and was working with my child’s daycare to equip them against me with body armor and active shooter preparedness drills—with no factual basis for the accusations—while trying to entrap me to go to the facility in the hopes of having me arrested.
He has blamed me for injuries to my child that medically were impossible for me to have perpetrated and has falsely reported those injuries to law enforcement against me.
He has sent tracking devices in the child’s shoes to my visits, concealed and glued in my child’s shoes.
He is accusing me of inappropriate activities with local LEO and damaging my professional reputation in many ways.
I am also self-employed, and there are certain requirements to my job that prevent me from renting as most normal folks.
It is incredibly stressful, and it is seriously interfering with more than my quality of life.
I have to wake up and advocate for myself with numerous LEO agencies, prepare my own legal documents and fights, and still have a full-time business to run and support myself and all that goes into all of that.
I'm just looking for a small bit of assistance to take some of the weight off of my shoulders, because all the hours I spend every week doing my own advocacy, legal preparations, securing of evidence, and maintaining my own personal and home security has put me behind enough that I need assistance to get onto my feet.
I am on the address confidentiality program and have to keep my address confidential, but living on Main Street prevents me from having much safety, security, or peace of mind at all.
No privacy for me or my child.
I am looking at another $2,000 worth of transcript fees—topping $10,000 in the last year and a half to date.
If locals are interested in donating unneeded tile/building materials, etc., you can email me.
Otherwise, my GoFundMe goal should cover the base costs to get my foundation in and get my home mostly put together with what I’ve already accumulated and with work in the coming months. Anything over the foundation costs will go to solar equipment for electric needs for the home.

I am ashamed to even ask, but this is what I need to do for my child and to have the safest future I possibly can.
All funds will go to building my home and a safe environment for my child and me, and I will continue to fight, advocate, and press on for change in legislation to help protect rural Coloradoans from the ignorance in the government agencies that puts survivors at a greater risk than those agencies are aware of.
safe housing and security for my family and business processes is top priority and why I’m asking for a hand..
