Support a Devoted Teacher in Crisis

My mom, a dedicated special education teacher at a public school, was arrested over a false accusation of inflicting harm on a student —and now she has to come up with $8,000 to pay the lawyer representing her in this case.

Her students — many of whom face unique challenges — have shown incredible growth under her care. She pours her heart into her classroom and shows up with love, patience, and consistency.

Despite there being no solid evidence, she’s now being forced to hire a lawyer just to defend her innocence. The legal fees are overwhelming: $8,000 is what’s needed to retain proper representation and ensure she has a fair chance in court. And that’s not including what she’ll have to pay if it goes all the way through.

We’re doing everything we can, but we can’t do it alone. If you’re able to help in any way—through donations, shares, or prayers—it would mean the world to us. Every dollar makes a difference and brings us one step closer to clearing her name and protecting her future.

Thank you so much for your support, compassion, and belief in justice.

With love and gratitude,

Joie
