<div><strong><em>My name is Sharon B. I am 65 years old, and I never imagined I would find myself in a situation like this.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>I opened my home to someone who was fleeing domestic abuse because I believed in kindness and compassion. What was meant to be a temporary act of help slowly turned into a situation that has caused fear, emotional exhaustion, and significant legal stress for my family and myself.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>My 4 dogs are also suffering the stress by being crated or locked in bedrooms for hours at a time.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Over time, boundaries were crossed, and the situation became increasingly volatile and stressful. Asking someone to leave your home is not easy—especially when you once cared deeply about their well-being. Living in constant anxiety and conflict is not something anyone should have to endure, particularly in their own home.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>We never asked for rent or utility money, and when asked to leave, the situation escalated into a legal dispute that I cannot navigate alone. I am now facing mounting legal costs to follow the law.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>I have not worked in several weeks as my home has been left open and vulnerable to theft. I should not be afraid to leave my house.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>As a retiree, these unexpected expenses are overwhelming. I am not seeking revenge or punishment—I am only seeking stability, dignity, and the right to live peacefully in my own home.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />

<div><strong><em>Attorney and court costs</em></strong>
