<div>My name is Andrew (Drew) Garrison, and I never imagined I would be in a position where I needed to ask for help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>More than a year and a half ago, I had a stable career, financial security, and a clear future. Today, I’m trying to rebuild my life after suffering devastating financial losses tied to a real estate venture that my attorneys are currently pursuing in court as part of an ongoing civil case involving allegations of fraud, civil theft, breach of fiduciary duty, and legal malpractice.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What began as what appeared to be legitimate real estate investments eventually unraveled in ways I never expected. At the time, I was shown deals, invoices, and what appeared to be returns from the business. Based on that information, I believed the venture was legitimate and committed my savings to it. Over time, serious issues came to light, and the situation ultimately resulted in significant financial loss.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The financial damage has been overwhelming. I lost my savings, my stock options, and much of the financial foundation I had built over years of hard work. I’ve been left in the negative financially while trying to navigate a long and exhausting legal process.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of these circumstances, I’m now being forced to sell my home and relocate back to Colorado to stay with a friend while I work to rebuild my life. Colorado has a strong technology job market, and my goal is to return to the tech industry where I previously built my career before leaving to pursue what I believed was a legitimate real estate opportunity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, I’m simply trying to stabilize my life and get back on my feet. The funds raised will help cover the cost of relocating to Colorado, basic living expenses during the transition, and allow me the time to secure employment again in the tech space.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For those who know me, you know I’ve always been extremely career-driven and independent. Asking for help is incredibly difficult, but after the financial devastation I’ve experienced, I’m doing everything I can to rebuild.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re able to help in any way, I’m deeply grateful. And if you can’t donate, sharing this page would mean just as much.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for supporting me as I work to rebuild my life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>— Drew
</div>
