This picture is what the home I HAD, prior to 02/20/22, looked like 5 hours after the intentionally set (by a CCP-UFWD affiliated "legal" "medical marijuana grow operation) fire ripped through my 7 acres like a CUTTING TORCH through butter! Even if you can only afford to chip in 5 or 10 bucks, it'll add up; &, help cover the costs of meeting deadlines. If even just 100 people had been able & willing to pitch in $20, I could've had a lawyer dealing with all of this. Since that didn't happen, I had no choice but to muddle through the filing on my own. (Here's hoping I didn't "" it!) If anyone still doubts my legitimacy, my case number (in Seminole Co., OK District Court) is CJ-2024-00022, filed at 4pm 02/15/2024. For me to have ANY hopes of a future, I HAD TO do it that way, despite my agreeing with the adage of "Anyone representing themself has a fool for a lawyer..." I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to "just go crawl under a rock & die..."

THANK GOD for the 2 people who each donated $200, without my even asking them (1 here & another via paypal, both of whom have known me for about 15 years.) THAT is what made it possible for me to cover the $242.14 filing fee; &, most of the exhibit printing. (Which I, mistakenly, though I had to turn in with the filing.)

I'm needing to update this; but, I can already tell that I'm going to be doing a pretty lousy job of doing so.. :( Writing the original narrative was VERY hard for me, back on 11/07/23, when it felt like it was some sort of a solution to my problems. This was because I've NEVER been comfortable with asking for help, even though I know how good it feels when I'm able to help others. Also, going back over everything is still like grinding course sand paper into an open wound. Now, I've lost a lot of my faith in this platform (&, quite frankly, in MOST of humanity!); so, I'll edit enough to make room for updates; &, if anyone finding this page "gives a rat's rear-end," they can see the other pics & read the narrative on my [https://(NO-WWW)kathy74868.weebly.com] site.

I'm a disabled senior, who'll turn 70 in just over a week. Admittedly, I'm in a pretty negative place at the moment (making it extremely difficult for me to keep my emotions "safely compartmentalized"), due to my just beginning to pull out of some MAJOR adrenal fatigue from the 2 weeks leading up to self-filing my case. I was averaging just 3 or 4, 1 hour "sleep breaks" a day during that time period; &, at most, 1 "meals on wheels" meal a day. When I got home from the court house, I flat-out collapsed from exhaustion. I'd had no choice, though. Without major restitution, I HAVE NO FUTURE! I'm living in an UNinsulated camper trailer, without real doors, no hot water, & no way to shower even if I did have hot water. Even though I SHOULD be ecstatic that I "derailed the freight train that was 24 hours away from running over me," I'm just sort of "feeling dead inside." All I seem to be able to think about is my next deadline (05/14/24), when I have to either have the retainer fee raised (well ahead of that date); or, that I've raised about another $240 for the 8 summonses I have to have mailed out by then. ($10/ea. for filing them; plus, @$20/ea. to mail them certified mail, return receipt required, restricted delivery....) I'm HOPING I can pare that number down, while still "getting the head of the snake" (it's best described as a "snake ball" of sham LLC's, which I'm still trying to completely unravel); but, I want to make sure that any mistakes I make are "in the right direction." All I can do without legal guidance... Everything I had that could've been sold to raise the retainer fee was destroyed by the fire. I lost 99+% everything I'd ever had (including 2 of my 4 "fur-kids," for whom I still grieve); &, came within just a couple of minutes of being trapped in that house & BURNED TO DEATH!!! Had it not been for my mobility service dog (whom God used as an angel that morning) waking me up when he did, I WOULD HAVE.... Had it not been for his companion dog (who later spooked & ran back into the house, where I later found her seared remains) helping me get up when I fell trying to get the garden hose unkinked, I'd have gotten horribly burned before the firefighters could've cut the lock on my gate. As it was, I turned around from unlocking the gate for them, only to find that she was nowhere to be found. THANK GOD I never heard any screams of agony from her, leaving me hope that carbon monoxide "got her" before the flames did...

In Okla., there is ZERO assistance for anyone who's a destitute plaintiff in a "tort case," if the defendant CLAIMS to have not had insurance; especially if those defendants are foreign nationals. Lawyers have told me I have a sure-win case; but, with no insurance company to go after, they question the ability to collect on any judgement. Most told me they'd take my case; but, only if I could scrape together about a $5,000 retainer, which is unreachable given my subsistence level income. Even the $2,000 for this lawyer I've found is feeling all but unatainable; since, almost no one who doesn't know me well feels like this old lady's life is even worth $5!!! I can't even afford used doors for this old camper trailer I'm currently staying in; or, even gas to get into town to get a shower more than about once a month. I'm, essentially, living "about 3 steps above homeless on my own land.." Prior to the fire, things were tight; but, I had a very well insulated little house; &, a LOT of other things which preserved my ability to be both independent & useful - were destroyed by the fire. 3 or 4 decades ago, I could've treated all of this as "an adventure" & rebounded on my own; but, especially with the loss of all of my nutriceuticals I'd used to retain my health, I feel myself losing ground on my physical, mental, & emotional health with each passing day. It doesn't help that I've lost so much faith in the human race since that fire, which has led to what I can only describe as a "dark night of the soul."

If ANY financial donation, however small, would cause an actual hardship for you or your family, PLEASE, "at least" share my links; plus, get me onto every prayer list you know of!!!

If there are any retired, bored, Okla. lawyers reading this who'd enjoy making a difference by acting as an informal, pro-bono, advisor - answering even basic, "generic" questions for an (involuntary) pro-se plaintiff, I REALLY NEED HELP!!! Apparently, OK has some screwy law that a lawyer can lose their bar license for answering even the most basic question (such as: "Do I have to file my exhibits at the same time I file my case?" or "If the defendants [each] have multiple 'current addresses' [in state & out of state], do I need to mail out separate summonses to all of the identifiable addresses for each defendant?") without a contract between them in place.

I, also, have this posted under "Legal;" but, both will come down, once I reach a combined total of $2100.

THANK YOU!!!

Kathy
