When life hits you below rock bottom, buried under the rabbit hole, if there is such a thing. A place where I never imagined myself to be. And I hope no one will have to experience this type of harrowing hell. Although they say everything happens for a reason … beneath my wounded and bleeding heart, a quiet strength endures. I’m a believer in looking to the solutions, no matter how bad the situation is or looks. It’s a reminder to myself to stay strong as long as my heart is still pumping—I’m still alive.

The tragic domino effect started with my mum being attacked in her home and now in a coma. My rescued service pup was murdered. I faced eviction with $10,000 to pay off in 5 days, while the person living with me left on a whim. I worked 4 jobs with no sleep to pay that off because I didn’t want an eviction record, even for the person who irresponsibly left.

It truly devastates me as I lost my whole career and struggled with weak health just to survive. To put a roof over my head and food on the table, everything I made went to my mum’s medical bills, our rescued pup, and a rent of $3,000 a month meant for two people. 

As long as they could get by, I paid in pennies at Walmart to buy a 6-pack protein bar, which I divided each bar for a day’s worth of food. I became really malnourished.

While trying to recover from the burdens, the biggest tragedy hit me … an employee where I reside cyber-harassed me through multiple emails, made terroristic death threats, and tampered with my mail, resulting in a TRO. I’m still frightened for my safety, since that employee is close friends with the building management - the retaliatory harassment continues. Barging into my apartment unit randomly, packages missing, my apartment door clicking open and more.

I’m still fighting for justice, but I’m worn out, my health is suffering and my mind is depleted. I’m at the end of a tight rope, still clinging on. It’s been 9 months so far, and I haven’t left my apartment for 4 months because when I do, I’m followed. This apartment unit has been mold-infested, according to an environmental specialist I hired, resulting in medical reports documenting a severe obstructive and restrictive lung disease that’s fatal. Not coming out of the apartment unit is safe regarding not getting killed, but it’s killing me internally from the water damage of their leaky pipes. 

I feel at a huge loss in all aspects. I’m surviving on canned food. My funds have been completely drained from attorney fees and medical bills. I’m carrying a huge amount of debt and my credit score is at an all-time low. I feel lost and pray for help. 

There are moments in the day where I get flashbacks and experience extreme distress from what the abuser said in several alarming degrading emails. The amount of profanity used is disturbing and dehumanizing, calling me a “slut,” “whore,” “cunt,” and “piece of shit.” Telling me I’m a worthless human being and that no one will love or miss me when I’m gone.

Domestic Violence is common, yet overlooked. It destroyed my finances, my credit score, instilled fear in me, ate at my self-esteem, and destroyed my career since that employee spread pictures to everyone in the whole community of the insides of my apartment unit. I don’t understand what could possibly be so funny. All I can remember was coming home late from work and maintenance barged into my unit while I was sleeping in the nude. 

Defaming me of my thriving career and my character as a person. He wanted me dead, which he stated multiple times in that email. The amount of pain is indescribable and indispensable. I feel for those suffering, fighting for justice just to be free. I’m grateful each day for the basic necessities that life offers in this mold-infested apartment. For the roof over my head, for a bed and for a toilet. Freedom is what I strive for and wish that I could go out safely without being followed, just to get some fresh air in the sunlight. One thing is for certain, my soul is still surviving. This fight is far from over. My attorney bought me out. I’m out of resources. I’m in debt. I desire support, community, and help. An unwavering force for the rights of humanity still resides within me.

Throughout this difficult journey, I’ve become more resistant and stronger. Like a resilient wild weed, I withstand wind and storm. I’m persevering for the rights of people being oppressed. I want to be an example of being heard and helped, which has defined my purpose even greater as a mindset mentor and energy healer. I aim to empower individuals facing abuse by focusing on solutions. I’m trauma and grief formed, so I empathize and hear you. Yet, I’m only human and it’s okay to let go and break down. There are moments in the day, a torrent of tears flows from the depths of my pain, where I experience extreme intertwined flashbacks. 

I strongly wish to relocate to get my feet back up again and have a fresh new start. I know day by day that I will heal. Through the battle of facing emotional, psychological, physical, financial, and cyber abuse, my mission is to give back, guide, fund, empower, and support those facing any type of oppression and abuse. Freedom is beautiful and necessary. I believe it begins with re-finding your self-worth and practicing a lot of self-love and self-compassion.

I'm aiming to raise $22,222 for medical expenses, attorney fees, and relocation to get my feet back up from domestic violence. Your contribution can help me start anew, regain my health and continue my mission to empower others facing abuse.
