For 10 years, I have been fighting to survive after being wrongly evicted and losing in court despite having receipts.
I left my hometown and ended up in Charleston, SC, where I was bullied by police for sleeping in my van. When my van broke down I was forced into dangerous situations, some of which were pushed onto me by law enforcement.
After being trespassed from areas I wasn't even in, I began to feel
like I no longer belonged in America. Things reached a breaking point
when a major business accused me of living on their property, which
they couldn't prove, and my evidence was dismissed. A police officer
coerced me onto the property to arrest me, repeatedly spitting at my
feet until I reacted. I was taken down to the pavement, my arms pinned
by the manager and my legs by the officer, who slammed my head into
the ground while yelling at me to stop resisting. No trial has been
set, and I feel completely done with America.
I need funds to rent a vehicle so I can gather my belongings from storage, cover travel expenses, and relocate to Canada. My hope is to start a new chapter where I can live peacefully and pursue my passion for writing books and music while I am also currently doing online classes for a degree in Media.
This move represents a fresh start after years of hardship and
feeling out of place.
I was born in America, a place I wanted to
call home and live a decent life. Now, at 40, that goal has been
negated by too many troubles that caused deep financial hardship and
debilitating health issues. While there have been some good times, the
bad has outweighed the good, and it's time to move on.
I hope I can be helped to move forward, and I am grateful for any support you can offer. Thank you in advance for your kindness.
