An Autistic human trafficking survivor needs help!

Katie is a severely Autistic woman. She was subjected to horrific abuse by her parents, who told her that she was a slave and treated her as one. She was fed every two weeks. At age 18, she ran away. Traumatized and vulnerable, she trusted a stranger who offered her a place to live and stay safe from her parents. This person turned out to be part of a pedophile ring that takes advantage of Autistic women by convincing them to marry them and then breeds them like animals to produce children for child pornography.

Katie was trafficked to Flint, Michigan and kept as a slave in an apartment that I can only describe as hell on Earth. She was repeatedly raped and had six pregnancies. She spent eight years without any friends except for two cats, a neighbor who occasionally saw her and treated her kindly but did not know what was happening, and people she befriended online by sending messages on Reddit using a phone that her captor let her use once her Stockholm syndrome was bad enough that he felt he could trust her somewhat. She didn't have full access, but was able to make posts on r/Autism that he monitored and approved.

I'm one of those friends and when I found out what was happening to Katie, I called the human trafficking hotline to ask for help. We made an escape plan and I took a plane to Flint to help because I knew she would be scared.  Because most people don't understand Autism very well, the agencies involved in the escape plan made many mistakes and almost got Katie, her cats, me, and my dog all killed or put back into slavery. Fortunately, we were granted a miracle and are all still alive and free. We are scared because no one is arrested yet, but we hope the feds will catch all the pedophiles soon.

In the meantime, we are both now homeless and living out of a car. I don't have a regular income because I'm also Autistic and have trouble keeping a job. Katie still has more basic needs that I would really appreciate help meeting, such as getting her a bra that fits, a good pair of shoes, a warm coat, and medical care. I'd also like for her cats to see a veterinarian because they have bald patches on their skin and throw up sometimes.

We would love to be able to raise enough money to buy a schoolbus to live in so we can travel and go help other Autistic people who are victims of abuse. Katie knows of four more people in Flint who are still trapped by the same people who trapped her and we would like to be able to rescue them and offer them a place to sleep. We need a bigger vehicle to do that. That would cost more than the current goal, so for right now we will just keep to the basic needs like clothing, medical care, dental, and a veterinarian. 

Please pass on this story about Katie and the things she has been through. People really need to know about this problem. If you can spare a few dollars, we would also really appreciate all the help we can get. Thank you.
