<div>My name is Lisa Stroud, I am a 71 year old transwoman, parent and proud Hamiltonian. Many of you may have heard my story in the news last year. I was a victim of a violent hate-motivated assault outside of Hamiltons only LGBTQ2 bar.i ended up having my upper teeth knocked out and spent over 9 months unable to work as an Actor and Model. 
</div>
<div>Thanks to community,  friends and Police Victims Services,  i was able to cover $17000.00 of the $28000.00 cost of the dental implants.
</div>
<div>Iam great full for the generosity that helped me regain my smile.
</div>
<div>But life hasn't stopped testing me. Recently my car engine failed, I had no choice but to replace the motor.  The repair cost $8500.00 plus labor and installation. Which i had to put on my credit card because I have no savings to fall back on.
</div>
<div>Between the assault,  my ongoing medical expenses and now this unexpected car repair,  im in serious financial distress,  with credit card interest payments piling up. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I wasn't going to start a Gofundme- Pride kept me from asking,  but friends encouraged me to reach out for help. So iam humbly asking for your help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To pay down the $8500 plus debt as well as my remaining costs for my assault.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I've worked hard my whole life,  as a tradesman at Dofasco for 35 years,  as a parent and now Actor. I never imagined I'd face this much violence or hardship in my 70's. But I believe in the power of community,  I know that with your help,  I can get through this. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for any support you can give. Whether donating,  sharing this page,  
</div>
<div>With Gratitude 
</div>
<div>Lisa Stroud.
