Terri, that Karen Silkwood statement above kind of echoes in my head.  As an
abused person I had/have that thought quite often; and the people who didn't
want to get involved or help are not strangers or passersby but my FAMILY.

Thanks, megaera! Because, to be honest, sometimes it feels like something

very strange is going on. I couldn't get assistance from this program, injured

myself because of this, was under a lot of stress and anxiety, couldn't work

as much as I needed to, and have been on the verge of homelessness since

because my finances were so adversely impacted. I have contacted attorneys

because the few people I've told the entire story to have indicated to me,
"That

program had to have broken the law, and they caused you harm and loss! You

should be able to sue and get some kind of compensation from them!" Etc.



Yet, every attorney I've contacted has not replied (I figure because I

cannot afford to pay one), and everyone else I've contacted and asked, "Do you

know an attorney who can help me for free, volunteer, pro bono, whatever word

you want to use?" has replied, in essence, "I don't know what to tell you." One

did give me a number, but the people there didn't seem to understand the

magnitude of the situation and just recommended I look for some other program
to

help me (I don't know of any, and that would not compensate me for what the

other one did anyway).
