Hi everyone — thank you again to everyone who has supported me, shared the fundraiser, or even just checked in. Your encouragement has kept me steady through a situation that has been overwhelming, time‑consuming, and emotionally draining.

I’m posting this update because things have now moved into the legal phase. After months of documenting everything, organizing evidence, and trying to resolve this without escalation, I’ve reached the point where I need formal legal representation to protect myself and move this forward responsibly.

This means I now need to cover a legal retainer.

Retainers are required before an attorney can begin work, and they’re not optional — they’re the gateway to getting real help, real protection, and real progress. I’ve done everything I can on my own, but the next steps require a professional who can advocate for me, interpret the law, and ensure my rights are protected.

Your support will now go toward:

- Securing an attorney retainer

- Preparing filings and responses

- Ensuring my documentation and evidence are presented correctly

- Protecting me from further harm or retaliation

- Moving this situation toward a fair and stable resolution

I’ve been meticulous in organizing everything — timelines, communications, evidence, and documentation — but I can’t litigate this alone. Having an attorney isn’t just helpful; it’s necessary.

If you’ve already donated, thank you. Truly. If you’re able to share this update or contribute again, it would make a real difference at a moment when I need it most.

Thank you for standing with me during a chapter I never expected to face. I’m committed to seeing this through with integrity, clarity, and the right legal support.

— Greg
