Support Kat’s Fight for Legal Representation against Abuse

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Kat. Since March 11th of this year, my life has been turned upside down by an overwhelming amount of stress, fear, and emotional turmoil. I’ve been dealing with ongoing harassment, intimidation, and invasions of my privacy from my ex‑partner, who has caused tremendous damage to my mental and emotional well‑being.

These past couple of months have been some of the hardest I’ve faced. The constant pressure, fear, and distress have taken such a toll on me that I was even admitted to the hospital. I’ve been trying to manage everything on my own, but the weight of it all has become too much. I’m exhausted, overwhelmed, and struggling to navigate a situation that feels impossible without help.

My oldest daughter, Ally, has graciously helped me set up this GoFundMe to help me raise the $5,000 retainer needed to hire an attorney. I’m currently facing court cases connected to this situation, and I urgently need proper legal representation to protect myself, understand my rights, and get the support I deserve. I cannot do this alone.

Unfortunately, even seeking help has been difficult. I’ve been judged, dismissed, and unsupported by people who were supposed to help me. It has left me feeling isolated at a time when I need strength and guidance the most.

I’m asking for help so I can secure an attorney who will advocate for me and help me regain stability and safety in my life.

Any amount — big or small — truly makes a difference. Even sharing this page helps more than you know.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for supporting me during this incredibly difficult time. Your kindness means more than I can express.
