Hello! My name is Stephen. I'm a 16-year-old currently living in Kansas, 17 in February.

In March, I will have a trial in Missouri to testify against my stepfather, who abused me as a child. However, the state of Missouri does not have the willingness to pay for the funds for it. I am living with a single parent who works two jobs and still struggles to pay the bills and basic expenses. We need approximately 400 dollars bare minimum to cover costs for travel, food, a hotel, and general recovery.

The goal on this fundraiser may change; however, any help is better than none at all! Even if all you can do is share this online, it would mean the world to me. This is an incredibly important situation that I have been dealing with for years. This trial marks the start of my healing, but my parent and I still need help to do it.

I can't share every detail as the case is still open, but I'm willing to say what I can for any clarification if you have further questions! Huge thanks in advance :)
