[Blindtlk] unfortunate ending of my court case

[Jessica Reed]

I'm sorry, I don't remember what your original case entailed. It sounds devastating though and I'm really sorry. Have you considered, though I would use this as a last resort, starting a go find me account to try to afford someone like Scott? Just an idea.
