🆘 URGENT: I Did My Part. Why Is Society Letting Me Die?

🆘 URGENT: I Did My Part. Why Is Society Letting Me Die?

I did my part. I raised two great kids. I built a home. I cared for that home. I nurtured my community. I sacrificed my career and ambitions, putting everything on hold so I could take care of my family. I upheld my end of the social contract.

But where is the rest of society?

Right now, I’m homeless, sick, and exhausted—sleeping outside the Berkeley Police Department. My ex-husband is living comfortably in the five-million-dollar house I built, after stealing twenty million dollars from me and leaving me with nothing.

I stayed outside the police station because they told me to wait there for a tent and sleeping bag they promised me on Tuesday. They never arrived. Tonight, I returned to where I was sleeping in front of the station, only to find all my belongings—my sleeping bag, everything I needed to stay alive—stolen. I am left exposed and terrified, and I don’t know if someone took my things or if they were moved by the police.

I am making this public because I am documenting everything. Even if I only have 20 readers, people are watching—and by failing to act, the Berkeley Police and this city are effectively murdering me through exposure and neglect.

I want to be clear: I could easily die tonight from exposure and sickness. If I do, it will be because society, the Berkeley Police, and those who promised help failed to protect me. If my voice falls silent, it will not mean I was wrong—it will mean I was right, and the system chose to let me die. I am demanding answers, and I will not stop until I am safe—or until my silence shows the world exactly what has been done.
