Jackie’s Journey: Overcoming Crypto Scam Loss

She lost nearly $1M in a crypto scam

Dear friends, family, and compassionate strangers,

I am reaching out today with an aching heart and a desperate plea for help. My aunt Jackie—an incredibly honest, hardworking woman who has always given her all to everyone around her—has been the victim of a cruel and heart-wrenching scam. She has lost a staggering $1 million in a "pig butchering" scheme, leaving her not only financially devastated but also facing the unbearable reality of possibly losing her home.

This scam, as many of you may know, is particularly evil. Fraudsters build a false relationship, gaining their victim's trust over time, only to encourage them to invest large sums of money into high-risk investments, often in cryptocurrency. The scammers promise huge returns, but once they've taken the money, they vanish, leaving their victims shattered and with nothing. That's exactly what happened to my aunt.

As a result of this loss, she's now faced with:

* Legal fees to pursue justice and hopefully recover some of what was stolen from her.

* Overdue mortgage payments, with her home at risk of foreclosure.

* Emotional and mental anguish as she tries to find a way out of this nightmare and begin rebuilding.

And this is where I am humbly asking for your help.

We are hoping to raise $100,000 to help cover:

* The legal fees needed to fight back against these scammers and try to recover some of the funds.

* Overdue mortgage payments to prevent foreclosure and help Auntie Jackie keep her home.

* Living expenses as she navigates this heartbreaking situation and begins the long process of rebuilding her life.

While this amount won't come close to covering the full devastation she's faced, every single dollar will go directly to giving my aunt a chance to reclaim her future. Please, if you can't donate, share this with others who might be able to help. Your support—whether it's financial or emotional—means more than words can express right now.

Auntie Jackie has dedicated over 30 years of her life to women’s health, making a profound impact on countless lives. Now, she needs our support to protect everything she has worked so hard for. Your donations can provide much-needed relief and help her find a path forward during this incredibly difficult time.

With deepest gratitude,

Marley Smith
