Thank you, friends, for your extreme kindness and generosity. This blew past my expectations already and I am extremely humbled by the support I've seen over this past day. I am excited to be able to give the law firm the retainer's fee of $1,500 as soon as that money deposits. While unexpected, I am grateful that there is a buffer here so that the firm can begin working right away on this particular case. I will be glad to give basic updates as they come, and will update again when the money deposits and the firm has been paid.
I think what is most important about what's happening is that this isn't truly about me. I think that, if you have already donated, you probably already know that. It's not about me, and it's not about mean people saying mean things on the Internet. I have been doing this whole Internet content thing a long time, and while mean things hurt, they aren't necessarily always actionable. Heck, this is all new to me. Who would WANT to go through this?
But the truth of the matter is, there are a lot of innocent people getting hurt. I'm not the only person who has been affected by blatant mistruths being spoken by a select few, or the angry hate groups causing death threats and harassment. I wasn't the first target, nor was I the last. A lot of people are feeling the effects of it and have been hurt and afraid. I do not know what those individuals will choose to do. But I hope that I was in just the right position to be able to ensure that placing normal civilians in a state of terror is not something that can be allowed to go unchecked.
I do not fully know what will happen. But I do know that I am in a position where I have to try. Thank you for entrusting me with that job. I will keep you updated on all things coming in this matter. If you would like to continue to share this campaign, you may. When I begin to get billed for the work that the firm is doing, I will be sharing that billing so you can be assured of how much is being spent and that that is exactly where it's going.
Thank you again very, very much for your love and support. Please be well, everyone.
