Eliza is a survivor of human trafficking. While she was being trafficked, she was coerced into making numerous overdraft transactions and the trafficker would use her bank account to make his own transactions. This resulted in overdrafts more than $500. The bank has put an alert in all bank systems which is precluding Eliza from opening any accounts. Eliza is currently in school and needs to deposit a stipend check for student loans. In addition, she will need to open a checking account as she will retain employment shortly. We are graciously asking for a donation of $500 to clear the alert and help Eliza continue her success with school and retaining employment.
