Dear Friends,

Some of you may already know some details of my current situation. To those that do not, I am sorry that I am not at liberty to disclose details here, due to being part of an ongoing court case.

However, those of you that know and trust me will believe that I would not attempt something like crowdfunding if it were not a dire and legitimate situation.

In brief, due to a complex, unexpected, and very serious family emergency, I need to secure safe, reliable housing for my family in my home town for six months. I estimate that this will cost in the region of £6,000.

Please trust me, and give what you can. I know that my friends are not a wealthy bunch. But anything towards this cause would mean the world to me, and to others involved.

If you have questions, please contact me directly. Your support, whether financial, social, or practical, is invaluable.

IMPORTANT!! Finally, if you wish to share this fundraising effort, please do not do so publicly. I would be so grateful for it to be shared via your private networks.

With Love.

Annie
