I never thought I would be in a position so desperate I had to ask for this much help. I'm left with other choice tho- I’ve reached the point where a small financial barrier is standing between me and the life I’ve been fighting so hard to rebuild.
I am a survivor of almost 4 whole years of human trafficking, captivity, as well as domestic violence. Since finally being able to leave that chapter of my life behind, I made the difficult decision to relocate and start over, had no other choice if I wanted freedom truthfully. I have worked incredibly hard to heal, become stable, and create a safer future for myself.
Unfortunately, I am still facing one obstacle from that difficult time — $684 in outstanding court costs. This balance may seem small to some, but for me it has become a major setback because it is impacting my ability to move forward, including getting my license situation resolved and accessing work opportunities that would help me become fully independent again.
I am not asking because I want an easy way out. I am asking because I am trying to move forward. I have done the hard work of leaving, rebuilding, and changing my life — I just need help clearing this final barrier so I can continue working toward stability.
