<div><strong>Help Us Rebuild After Jail: Legal Fees, Recovery &amp; a Fresh Start</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Hi, my name is <strong>Carson Snow</strong>, and I’m reaching out during one of <strong>the most difficult times of my life.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Recently, my partner and I were incarcerated and have now been released, but the aftermath has left us with <strong>overwhelming legal and financial burdens.</strong> <em>We are facing serious charges and are currently unable to share any details of the case. </em>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are seeking help covering the lawyer fees, court fees, impound charges, and other costs tied to this ongoing legal situation. These financial obligations are standing in the way of <strong>stability, healing, and moving forward.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>What Your Support Will Help With:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Legal representation and court costs</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Vehicle impound and recovery fees</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong><em>Rebuilding basic stability (housing, transportation, etc.)</em></strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong><em>Therapy and mental health care</em></strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong><em>Creating a future I can be proud of</em></strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>While I was in jail, I experienced a<strong> psychotic break</strong>—<em>something I’m still actively recovering from</em>. It was<strong> terrifying</strong>, and it<em> forced me to confront how urgently I need consistent mental health support and structure in my life</em>. As part of my healing, I’m committing to a <strong>structured therapy regimen</strong> as well as <strong>reconnecting with the spiritual roots I was raised with</strong>. Though I identify as agnostic, <strong>I intend to begin attending the Mormon church</strong> every Sunday, which I was raised in before falling away about 7 years ago.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>But more than anything,<em> I want to take this moment in my life and turn it into the beginning of something meaningful.</em>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This fundraiser is about more than just paying fees—it’s about buying us time and space to get <strong>stable,</strong> to <strong>heal,</strong> and to <em>return to the paths we were already trying to walk before all of this.</em>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>For me, that path has always been creative. Since I was about 12, I’ve been in love with animation. Over the past year, <em>I’ve been working on putting together a portfolio so I can apply to college</em> and finally turn that passion into a career. That dream didn’t start with this situation, and <strong>it’s not ending because of it</strong>—<em>I just need some help to keep it alive through everything else.</em>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m asking for your help to:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Put this situation behind me</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Rebuild a stable life with my partner</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Heal from what has been an emotionally and mentally devastating experience</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Invest in a creative future and pursue a college degree in animation</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you've ever felt <strong>lost, scared,</strong> or like the <em>weight of your circumstances might crush you</em>—you understand why I’m here, <strong>humbly asking for help</strong>. Any<strong> donation, share,</strong> <strong>repost </strong>or <strong>kind word</strong> brings us closer to<strong> stability, healing, and a second chance.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>I don't expect anything from anybody. My road to recovery is ultimately my responsibility. It will require a lot of hard work that is nobody's problem to deal with then my own. I’m fully committed to putting in the effort it takes to move forward and grow from this. That said, if you're able to help during this time, please know that your support would mean the world—and I promise it won’t be taken for granted..</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong><em>Thank you for reading, for caring, and for believing that people can change their lives.</em></strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><em>With gratitude,</em>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Carson Snow</strong>

<div><em>Be wary of speculation and potential misinformation being spread following the release of the details of this case to the public. We are not admitting to anything; nor are we discussing the case together, only the cost of the road to recovery as ordered by the court. Please know that we are not admitting to anything and are simply asking for support as we navigate the next steps, legally and personally.
