Jessica Lee Smith & The Garcys

My 3 children and I have been living in Vermont since 2017. It’s Been very difficult for me to make a life here & to get consistent work. I’m living in an agricultural community where you need a car to go almost anywhere and within the last few years after a bad breakup, I lost everything I’d rebuilt after I left New York. I hoped all would be cleared up afterwards but three years later and things are not better for me. My life here in Vermont hasn’t gone back to normal and because of all that transpired I became a target and I’m not able to find safety here anymore unfortunately. My daughter ran away at the start of this all and never came back and I wasn’t able to run after her as I’d been left without both of my cars and no one ever returned them or helped us get them back. I’ve tried very hard to rebuild what was destroyed as Vermont meant the world to me but I realize now that it’s an exercise in futility. I’ve been very misunderstood here & because of my break up in 2023 I’ve not been permitted to go back to my life and move on. My boyfriend and I are still friends & there are many people here I truly love but unfortunately no one has been able to help stop the treatment I’m experiencing here & it’s only getting worse. What’s most concerning is that it seems it’s getting worse no matter what I do or how much time goes by. Life has become unbearable here and I’ve not been afforded a minute of peace since 2023. I no longer feel safe here in my particular situation and it’s been made abundantly clear that most of the people here don’t want me in the area ever since then. While I’ve done nothing wrong except experiencing a very traumatic experience, many people have been so unforgiving & have kept me from picking up the pieces of my life or even allowing me to retrieve my stolen belongings. I am virtually trapped without our cars and i have to get out of here as soon as possible. I have no idea exactly where we’re heading. I only know I have to leave. I’ve spent the last few years immobilized in place with the same swarm of organized harassers circling me and trying their best to keep me from venturing out into the world. I still have active surveillance and people following me in cars and on foot at all times no matter where I go. I have herds of people spending all day coming up with ways of making me unwelcome, uncomfortable and as unhappy as they can. The goal is to give me not a minute of peace. It doesn’t matter who they are anymore, it only matters that it’s not been stopped and I’ve lost over 3 years of my life to it. Every human being has the right to live a life of freedom and a life free of being surveilled. Especially because I was completely innocent. ive lost so much here but ive given it my all. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Vermont but I know I don’t belong here. I need to leave with my children as soon as possible and I’ve been left without a way out. I need very much to get back into a car but dont have the down payment to even get into a lease or payment plan. I also have to find a place for the children and I as soon as possible. I’m out of options and out of time. I only know that I am not safe here and I want very much to go home. im looking for an apt in New York, Florida or Los Angeles. If anyone can help me with any leads I’d be so grateful or if anyone I know has a rental that’s available it would save my life. if any of my friends are reading this , and If I’ve ever meant anything to you at any time , please understand , I’ve never needed anything so much in my entire life. I am not at all safe here. Please send help if you can. As soon as possible
