Please be warned of some very disturbing shit in this post (cw: drink dosing)
My name is Sam. I'm a queer, single mother with a 17 month old daughter. She's the love of my life. My best friend. My everything. Everything I do, I do for her.
My birthday was recently, and it was from hell. I went out with two friends, and a woman I had been talking to in hushed tones of maybe becoming something more than friends. The only problem?
While we were at a bar, I remember laughing at a joke she made while lifting a drink to my lips. The next thing I saw was another person holding my hand, laying beside me.
The man in my bed told me I had been the passenger in a car wreck. I was concussed, bruised, cut up, terrified, sobbing.
The woman - my manager, who I thought would be my girlfriend soon - could not handle the shame of what she'd done by wrecking us. The vehicle was impounded with my wallet inside. She quickly decided to offset her shame by blaming me, somehow.
I begged for my money. I told her my daughter needed to eat, needed diapers. She refused me. I fell behind on bills. By the time I had my wallet returned to me, I was down a lot of money.
Back at work, the hell continued. My bar position was revoked without so much as a word - my saving grace as a single mom, the answer to my need to support my daughter and I while I fight to return to school to build a life for my baby.
Back as a server, I'm given the worst sections, hid in corners, customers purposely led away. I am at the end of my rope.
It's hard enough dealing with the fact that I was dosed and can't defend myself with vivid facts (and she won't tell me what it is I have even done, just tells my other managers). Now I'm struggling to make money at all. I'm scared. I am trying so hard to get bills caught up so I can start moving my daughter and I into a new home where we can be safe. I have hundreds of dollars of bills due. Please help.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart and my daughter's heart. I'm so grateful to you.
