Spine injury caused by domestic assault

"Death with dignity after Domestic Abuse
Hello. My name is Katherine Lily Mae Harris and I am from Union, Maine. Three years ago I left an abusive relationship that left me with a life-threatening and life-changing spinal cord injury. While I can still walk I can only do so assisted, and I live in nearly constant pain.
Before my injury I was very active - always hiking, dancing, and practicing/teaching yoga. I was a hard worker and was saving my money with plans to create my own little sanctuary where I could live off of and give back to the land. I have always wanted a simple life full of love and surrounded by nature. I have never needed much in terms of material things.
Unfortunately since my injury I have been unable to maintain consistent work to support myself. All of the jobs I held prior to my injury required too much of me physically and I am having to find new ways to make money where I can. I am currently facing the very real threat of homelessness. I have not been able to afford to maintain my car so I have no reliable transportation. Without steady work and reliable transportation, it is very difficult to make a new start in rural Maine.
I have set up this GoFundMe in the hopes that I can raise enough money to redesign my life - to secure safe housing and reliable transportation here in Maine or to relocate to an area where the medical and supportive services I desperately need are more accessible to me. I also want to find work that I can do with this body I now have.
I have avoided asking for financial help but I have run out of options and don’t know what else to do. If you are able to donate I would be so grateful and if you are not able to I completely understand and would appreciate a share so this fundraiser can reach more people. Thank you. "
I tried my best to survive this while experiencing forced oppression, government targeting, dangerous web traps, isolation, medical torture, and I am done. They have medically tortured me so close to death.
they sprayed me with nervine for ‘things done in the name of Allah’ and they denied my disability again, further causing me to be unable to save my own life, currently using freezing as a silencing tactic, they are crazy for this, the world will eventually see. Never forget….know the truth, speak the truth, integrity.
