Urgent Help Needed for My Mom

Donation protected
I am reaching out to share a distressing incident that occurred with my mother, Ruth Ann Shimoi, on Friday, July 28th. Unfortunately, she fell victim to an internet scam that has left her in a dire financial situation.

On that day, my mom's computer suddenly displayed a blue screen, claiming that her system had been hacked. In a state of panic, she followed the instructions and called a number provided on the screen. The person on the other end convinced her that her bank accounts were compromised and that her money was in imminent danger. Tragically, she was persuaded to withdraw all of her savings and checking money from the bank and deposit it into a Bitcoin machine, under the belief that this was the safest way to protect her funds.

As a result of this scam, my mom is now facing severe financial hardship. She no longer has the means to cover her rent or car expenses. As many of you know, she has always been the first to help others in need, works to always make sure people in need are cared for, and goes above and beyond for me, and I am truly grateful for everything she has done for me.

I am humbly requesting your assistance in any way possible. If you could contribute any amount to the GoFundMe campaign I have set up to support my mom during this difficult time, it would be greatly appreciated. Every dollar will help alleviate the stress she is currently facing and enable her to get back on her feet.

Your generosity and compassion would mean the world to both me and my mom. Please also share the campaign with your friends and network, as it would go a long way in increasing the chances of reaching our goal.

Thank you for taking the time to read this email and for considering our situation. Your support can truly make a difference in my mom's life.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Lisa Shimoi
