Anybody have a boat to rent
Looking to rent a boat, preferably with access to the Chicago lakefront, though open to suburb areas as well. Want to entertain visiting family, or friends.
Can possibly get a very small group of friends together for a couple hours out in the waves. Send me direct message to discuss.
Sad on the surface, but pretty obvious

Last week, I found out she had a second GoFundMe campaign asking for help healing (again I don't want to be more specific than that). She writes out how difficult her life is now, and how the profession was a slippery slope thing for her to get into, but then she writes the part that has messed with me, and I'm curious to know if this will mess with you all too. She says that every time she had to take an appointment she was raped. She says that was every single appointment she ever had.
I think she's running a scam. Am I jaded? Does she have a point? Or is this something in-between?[/QUOTE]Sounds to me like she's just trying to play the buzzwords out there in the current cultural consciousness for sympathy and get attention to her GoFundMe. The fact that she's doing this through GoFundMe, and multiples at that, raises a lot of flags of various colors. There are tons of legitimate programs out there to help girls in these situations these days. I'm actually surprised this made it through GFM's gatekeeping as this is a 'goal' with no way to verify its success and no clear destination for the money. Is the suggestion that if she needs $2000 and only raises $1750 she can just keep that money and go right back to escorting?
Especially when there's addiction involved its very hard to make changes in these girls' lives without intense professional help. I got very close with a provider almost a decade ago (lives out of town now, not giving any details) and kept in touch with her through a lot of struggles to the point where I knew her real family. At her low points I would send her dozens of links / numbers, even fill out forms for her, and tell her you're a homeless single mother struggling with addiction with no family support, and probably a victim of sex trafficking if you tell your story right; there are literally bags of money on shelves in your city and state to help with housing, jobs, education, etc if you do the work to get clean and follow through. She would give it lip service in the times where she had her head on straight, but the path of least resistance was always back to the drugs and the street. It took a multi year federal vacation for her to finally be clean long enough and get lots of professional counseling to finally go down the more positive roads.
Anyway, this GoFundMe campaign sounds like a very half assed attempt to make positive change, and the fact that she's working 'rape' wording into it makes it sound like pathetic pandering rather than inspiring sympathy.
