Help disabled homeless near-sex trafficking victim make human rights book & films! :)

Biography<br><br>&nbsp; Violet Bramble is a native San Franciscan who has found herself in a web of organized crime intrigue after unexpectedly being targeted by Arab underworld sex traffickers. Her college background includes Fashion Design, Photography &amp; Painting major curricula (towards BFA degree) at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design &amp; Merchandising) and San Francisco Art Institute. She is planning on returning to college in Paris to complete an American-accredited BA degree, majoring in Film &amp; French, starting in Fall 2012. <br><br>&nbsp; Violet has been living with CFIDS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, a disabling immune system disorder) for over 20 years, since age 19 (she is now 44). She is currently homeless in San Francisco due to intimidation and subterfuge suffered at the hands of underworld criminals who subsequently undermined her housing, business, social environment and even family ties, as 'punishment' for refusing to become a sex trafficking victim. Her hope is that taking the great risk of speaking out will help other victims of organized crime, which in reality is a huge, diverse, but entirely masked problem in the United States, not to mention worldwide.<br><br>&nbsp; Violet is an independent film critic, typically (ie when housed) watching over 100 films at film festivals each year and creating vlog reviews focusing on South Asian, Arab and other international film, as well as queer film, shorts &amp; documentaries. She makes historical and fantasy costume as a hobby, and previously had an online antiques &amp; vintage porcelain business which was destroyed by a ring of crime-affiliated hackers, including her ex-fiance‘ who has borderline personality disorder.&nbsp; Additionally she is a life-long diarist and writer with an interest in comparative world religions, a bisexual feminist who has been a part of the Castro gay community for many years, a pagan/witch, and a professional astrologer, tarot reader and psychic who worked in the intuitive arts field for nearly a decade.<br><br>&nbsp; If you experience any difficulties viewing my campaign or any problems donating to me, please contact BOTH the website in question AND myself (twitter: @SoufiandMe email: soufiandme@hushmail.com.
