As I was trying to sleep, I thought of a disturbing question: if I were kidnapped, would anyone pay a ransom to free me?
If you were kidnapped, how much money would people pay for your freedom? How do you know?
Eight years ago, I believed I had an excellent safety net. My mother, father, brother, and grandmother all said they loved me, and they all did things that made me think they supported me as much as I supported them. It was only after I had a crisis that I learned they wouldn’t help me. What proof do you have that your safety net is not a lie?
As I struggled to find shelter, to eat, and to buy the medicine I needed to survive, my mother inherited a house and money. Then she redecorated the bathroom and sent photos to me. She wanted me to agree with her that the bathroom was improved. The amount of money she spent at that time would have solved all of my problems back then.
My brother rejected my request to put some of my things in his basement after I became homeless (six years ago). But he said that if I drove to his office, he would buy me lunch. The cost of gas to drive to the other side of Chicago was more than what I normally spent on lunch. Therefore, his offer was that I could spend two or three hours commuting to have lunch with him and spend money for the privilege. That offer is the only help he has offered in eight years.
My father must repay US$100,000 of my debt if I can’t repay it. Besides being my father, he has a huge financial incentive to help me heal. No one else has a financial incentive to help me, so you might think he has helped me the most. You are wrong. At least three other people, not related to me, have helped me substantially more than he has helped me. Even worse, he has actively hurt me, including committing crime, during the last eight years.
Are you really sure of your ransom value?
The amount of money I need is obscenely small because I live in Mexico and because I am absurdly frugal. Nevertheless, it seems I will die because I don’t have enough value to my family or to the world.
- I have biological health problems that cause depression, anxiety, and panic attacks.
- I have had these problems for many years.
- I cannot survive on $3 per day.
- I cannot heal without shelter, food, and medicine.
- I am on a hunger strike: no food and no water. Unless you help me to survive, I will die before Christmas 2017.
