My Final Ask

This is it. I have 30 days left, and this is the last time I’m asking for help. If I don’t reach my goal, I will file this case myself — without an attorney, without resources, and completely alone. I will do it if I have to. But the truth is: this fight deserves better than what one person at rock bottom can carry.

Where I Actually Am Right Now

I’m not going to sugarcoat anything:

I am completely broke.

I have no car.

My computer — the tool I need to defend myself — is dead.

I am behind on rent.

My dog, who has carried me through the worst years of my life, is fighting cancer.

I’ve been officially listed as disabled, and my health has been declining under the weight of years of stress and retaliation.

I’m saying this because honesty matters. I don’t have a safety net left. I’m at zero.

And yet — I am still fighting.

Why This Case Matters

This case is not just about me. It’s about the kind of system we all live under.

For years, I’ve been up against a county structure that retaliates against whistleblowers, hides evidence, delays CPRA requests, buries complaints, and protects political allies instead of the public. I’ve endured threats, intimidation, and the kind of institutional pressure designed to break someone down until they disappear.

I haven’t disappeared.

This case exposes how badly the system failed — and how much they want it kept quiet. Winning doesn’t just clear my name; it forces accountability onto people who have never been held accountable.

Why I Need Help Now

I haven’t had a real chance to breathe, to see my family, to see my friends, or to start healing. I’ve been stuck in survival mode, living one legal deadline to the next, fighting with nothing but willpower.

I need representation to finish this right.
I need the ability to stand up to people who have power, money, and institutions behind them.
I need to reclaim my life, rebuild what I’ve lost, and finally move forward.

This is the last window.

Thirty days.
My final ask.

What Your Contribution Does

Your support helps me:

Secure legal representation

Replace my dead computer so I can file and respond properly

Keep a roof over my head long enough to finish this

Cover basic survival so I can keep fighting

Protect my dog while he fights cancer too

Every dollar pushes back against people who thought they could grind me into the ground until I vanished.

If You Believe in Accountability

If you believe the truth matters…
If you believe disabled people deserve protection, not retaliation…
If you believe government shouldn’t be allowed to destroy someone without consequences…

Then I’m asking you to stand with me now — not later.

I’m asking because I’ve run out of everything except the will to finish this.

Thank you for reading this, for caring, and for helping me survive long enough to get to the end of this fight.

Please donate if you can. Share if you can’t. Both matter more than you know
