Crystal's Legal Fund to Start Over
Donation protected
My name is Laura J., I'm a friend of Crystal Schneider and have had the privilege to follow her journey from college to current day. Crystal made a difficult decision, to leave her abusive husband and start a new life--but she needs our help.
In December 2008, Crystal Schneider got married to a man who was loving, supportive, and encouraging. By April 2018, Crystal's husband had become toxic, destructive, and abusive. In spite of the verbal, mental, and emotional abuse, she found the strength to leave, rather than further damage her mental health.
While she works hard to build a new life for herself, she has enough to live paycheck-to-paycheck but is financially unable to divorce her husband.
Crystal has sought help from legal aid services and pro bono opportunities but has been denied help from all fronts due to the complicated nature of her situation. At this point, Crystal needs quality legal representation in order to retain her rights and ensure compliance during this process.
Crystal's preferred legal council requires a $5,000 retainer, which is why we're reaching out today. A legal divorce would allow Crystal to close this chapter of her life and allow the financial freedom to pursue her post-graduate paralegal certificate, using her unique perspective to fight for others.
I admire Crystal's strength and courage, which is why I'm helping her with this GoFundMe. I believe she will make this world a better place, but this hurdle will take a village to overcome.
If you are able, please help Crystal cross this legal barrier between her former life and her bright future.
