On May 29th, my life changed when my dog Olive was taken from me. Anyone who knows me knows Olive wasn't just a dog. He was my family, my bestfriend, and huge part of me finding myself again. Losing him has been one of the most heartbreaking experiences I've gone through.

What started as a desperate attempt to get my dog back turned into a situation that has left me facing criminal charges and overwhelming legal expenses. I'm now in a position where I need experienced legal representation to make sure my side of what happened is heard.

I've spent months trying to do the right thing while dealing with the emotional pain of losing Olive. Between attorney fees, court costs, and the stress of fighting this case I simply can not do this alone.

I am asking for help covering my cost of legal representation so I have to opportunity to defend myself and move forward with my life. Every donation no matter how small will go directly toward attorney fees and expenses related to my case.

If you're unable to donate, sharing my fundraiser would mean the world to me. I just want to make sure this never happens to anyone again.

Thank you for taking this time to read my story and for any support you can give, It truly means so much to me.
