**A Mother’s Urgent Call for Justice and Compassion**

My name is Gail, and I am a mother navigating a storm of injustice and hardship, fighting for the well-being of my family in extraordinary circumstances.

My middle son has been wrongfully convicted in what should have been recognized as a self-defense case. He has been denied due process, deprived of his rights, and left isolated in a profit-driven system that capitalizes on his suffering—even denying him basic tools like a tablet for connection or learning. Meanwhile, my youngest son, who has autism, lost the essential disability benefits that have supported him since his teen years. We are fighting to restore those benefits, so he can access the care he urgently needs.

At 72 years old, I live on $1,200 a month from Social Security after a lifetime of hard work. Yet I’m drowning in penalties, traffic fines, and mounting expenses—all imposed by a system that seems engineered to break people like me. I've lost my car because I couldn’t afford the recovery costs, leaving me stranded and overwhelmed—but I will not let despair win. I am determined to keep fighting for my family and our future.

I am turning to you, humbly and urgently, for support. Your generosity can help us:  

- Advocate for my middle son, ensuring his case is heard and justice prevails.  

- Reinstate vital disability benefits for my youngest son.  

- Cover fines and critical expenses that keep piling up.  

- Challenge and push back against a system profiting from pain and injustice.  

The costs of travel for court visits, legal representation, and basic necessities are more than I can handle alone. Every dollar you can spare helps lighten our load, and every kind-hearted act reminds us that hope still exists.

Thank you for standing with us in this fight for justice, dignity, and survival.
