Help Lillian with court fees
During a weather disaster in my city that left me and 100,000 other people without electricity in sub freezing temperatures for almost a week, I was unlucky enough that I was alone, my partner and primary care taker having just taken a long awaited trip out of the country. I’m also disabled and usually barely scrape by, so when the power outage caused my refrigerated food to spoil, I had very few options to stay fed. A friend who was in a similar situation took me to a dumpster behind a grocery store to see what we could find. Unfortunately for me, a police officer saw us and decided to harass us. He basically chased me from my dumpster to the car so that when he demanded to see my license (which was in the car) he could say it smelled like weed and search me. He did, and charged me with possession of cannabis and paraphernalia. (I didn’t even get to keep the groceries) I had to get a lawyer which will cost fifteen hundred dollars, which is what this Gofundme is for. This whole episode, especially the bad weather, caused an outbreak of my fibromyalgia and C-PTSD, preventing me from even writing this until it abated, two months later. As it stands now, I have about five and a half weeks to raise my lawyer fee before my court date. If you could, please donate. And if you can’t, don’t sweat it, but please pass this along to someone who can <3
Here’s a pic of me very happy to be somewhere with heat again
