Support Shayla's Legal Battle and Future

Hello, my name is Shayla. I've made a GoFundMe as a last resort to get some help. I am a single mother who's recently found myself looking to others for help. I am currently going to school for massage therapy and graduate on May 22nd. I have a job working in Rhode Island, although I reside in Massachusetts.

It's taking a lot of courage to kindly ask family, friends, and even strangers for help. Recently, on March 19th, I had been arrested on my way to meet my mother at the hospital for having multiple strokes. The cop did not do any of the things he should have, such as identifying himself or giving me a reason as to why he was pulling me over. He even placed me in his cruiser and did not read me my Miranda rights until after being in his cruiser for about 20 minutes or more. This is a case I HAVE to fight to be able to get my license after I finish school, or else I won't be able to become what I dreamed of, a massage therapist. Those who know me, know my heart and character, and know I will always do anything in my power to help anyone. I just hope that if anyone can extend themselves for me in this time of need, it is greatly helpful and very much appreciated. I have an upcoming court date on May 16th, and although my birthday is May 10th, I will be making sacrifices to be able to pay for legal fees and costs. Thank you in advance for your kindness.
