Describe the challenge you want to address:

WHEN I WAS SEXUALLY HARASSED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE BUILDING WHERE IVE LIVED FOR 55 YEARS THE BOARD IGNORED ME AND SIDED WITH THE SUPER ESP WHEN THEY DID NOT CONDUCT A PROPER INSPECTION ACCORDING TO OUR LAWS. ITS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ANYONE TO COME FORWARD WHEN THEYVE BEEN SEXUALLY HARASSED. NEVER KNOWING IF YOULL BE BELIEVED. ITS STILL VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME AND IVE BEEN FORCED TO LIVE LITERALLY SIDE BY SIDE WITH THIS PERSON.

Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:

WHEN I TRIED SEARCHING FOR HELP - LEGALLY AND MENTALLY - IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND. I WAS TURNED DOWN BY MORE THAN SEVERAL LAW FIRMS. AND EVEN THOUGH IM SEEING A COUNSELOR FOR A LONG TIME PEOPLE NEED TO PAY FOR WHAT THEY DIDNT DO - MORALLY, ETHICALLY AND LEGALLY. I KNOW THERE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE AGENCIES OUT THERE TO HELP BUT IT WAS/IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND. WE NEED SOMETHING NEW OR BETTER FOR WHEN PEOPLE ARE READY TO REACH OUT.
