Help me support my mother’s defense by donating today.

Last Thursday my mother went for her preliminary arraignment and received the official charges set against her. To summarize, 3 charges of each:

  • Forgery
  • Identity Theft
  • Use of “Access Device” without Authorization
  • Receiving Stolen Property
  • Theft by Deception/False Impersonation

I am including copies of the court documents so that you may see this is for real. I blacked-out sensitive information (such as the name of her accuser) and, where applicable, replaced it with a description of the removed material (“Plaintiff name”).  Continue reading →

All I Want for Christmas is to Help My Mom!

I know it is a little late, but I finally know what I want for Christmas. This year I want to help my mom get a lawyer to defend against a false accusation, so I started this campaign on Fundly. If you wanted to but forgot to get me a present (or did not know what to get since I didn’t want anything), you should donate instead. I’ll never know you forgot if you make a donation!

My mother is an honest and hard-working woman. She raised me as a single mother and we fought through the tough times together. This false accusation comes on the heels of more tragedy  – a year ago on her birthday our house was robbed and the year before that our apartment was flooded. This all to the woman who always places my needs above her own, no matter what the cost to herself. For years she supported me and cared for my now deceased grandfather. My mother is my hero. And she needs my help. Please, help me help my mother by donating to support her defense.

Need your Help: Fund a Human Rights Lawyer

This summer I met a young woman named Lydia during my 4K for Cancer ride. Sitting in a room surrounded by strangers, she courageously shared her story of her fight with cancer. Diagnosed as she was about to enter law school, Lydia deferred for a year for treatment. This year she made it through orientation but once again is going through surgeries to fight cancer. Yet despite all the time she spends fighting for herself she never stops fighting for others.

2013.11.11 Lydia's Human Rights Lawyer Campaign

This year Lydia’s Christmas wish is to fund a human rights lawyer for those who are in need of defense but cannot afford it. Defending human rights is Lydia’s passion, and she has this to say about her fundraising goal:

For Christmas this year, I want to raise money for an IJM human rights lawyer to stand up for a victim of violence throughout the legal process. Without an excellent lawyer, poor people have no way to seek justice for abuse–and criminals stay on the streets, where they can harm other vulnerable people. However, with a strong advocate in the court, survivors receive justice and communities are protected.

Providing a lawyer for just one month costs $1550, and I hope to reach this goal by December 10, 2013. Please join me 🙂

Lydia’s cause is pure and her perseverance alone is beyond comprehension. As always, I am proud and somewhat in awe of her optimism and resilience. Please, if you can spare it, please help Lydia reach her goal. Donate now. And if you want to learn more about her story, check out her blog.

To all those who supported me in my 4K ride – this means a lot to me. I rode for Lydia for 70 days and it was her willpower and determination that inspired me through the hardest days. For me it is not just about the lawyer or even human rights: it is about supporting the people in this world who surpass all the odds and put others before themselves to make a difference. Lydia is one of those people. Help her out.

Casey Schafer, nne of my friends and teammate on the 2013 4K for Cancer Team Seattle is off to her next adventure next summer. She will be spending a week in Haiti through a program called Lifetree. Lifetree has partnered with a ministry in Haiti that runs a vocational training, pre-natal, delivery, and post-natal care facility. Her work will improve the facility and help in the vocational training of local women. Check out a short video about the experience from the perspective of an alumnus.

Casey is responsible and passionate and looking to make a difference. I fully support her, and made my own donation of $10. Please, help Casey get to Haiti by matching my donation! You can donate online on her Fundly page.
