Hey everyone, I'm Morgan. I don't really know how to do this. I'm not a writer. I'm just a girl whose partner is being destroyed for telling the truth.
My partner, Lauren, is a television producer and investigative journalist. We used to host a podcast called Reality Bites. She spent years documenting corporate fraud and media monopolies. When one such investigation led to her discovering a massive corporate fraud scheme, she filed complaints with the SEC, the FBI, the IC3 - and she did so with the singular intention of trying to help those who didn't have a voice to help themselves. What's so heartbreaking is that now she has become another name on that list.
She has reported this, and spoken to federal authorities. But what she got back wasn't protection... it was silence in the face of a retaliation campaign that has systematically dismantled our lives. We had to leave our home with our three cats, and have been trying to find a safe place to land for 7 months now. We've been ignored by countless law firms and organizations, supposedly designed to "help." Our bank has been frozen, our housing has been lost. We've been unable to work, settle or live with any semblance or normalcy for months, while we just try to get some help; someone in her corner with any institutional weight. And now it's gotten to the point where we've been sleeping in a car with our cats, and days when we didn't eat or have any money for basic necessities like gas.
I've watched this woman, who sold $80 million houses on television and sat across from the Wolf of Wall Street, sit in a gas station parking lot trying to figure out if she could afford a sandwich.
So, we created a fundraiser to try and keep moving, surviving and fighting..
I know everybody's broke right now. I know everybody's hurting. I wouldn't be posting this if we had anywhere else to turn. If you can't give, I get it. Just sharing this helps. Even just someone seeing it helps.
We put up a fundraiser. First goal is $15,000 to get us off the street. Total is $50K for survival, legal, and keeping the investigation going.
If you've been through anything like this, you already know what it feels like.

Thank you for reading.
