CASE 0:22-cr-00124-NEB-DTS Doc. 964 _ Filed 03/25/26 Page 2 of 2

My husband and I have tried to gather and borrow funds throughout the time since my

sentencing with no success.

Everything in this affidavit, and in my attached application, is true and accurate to the best

of my knowledge and upon best information and my belief.

Since my detention, while my husband has done his best to put money in my trust account
at my detention facility, also known as my commissary, the average of the monthly

deposits is $218 and the average balance is $30.

With this money, I have bought necessary clothing to stay warm or try to stay warm, and

food to eat.

If I could afford to hire a lawyer, I would, but unfortunately, given my circumstances, I

cannot.
Therefore, I respectfully ask that this Honorable Court grant my application.
The Court’s consideration is greatly appreciated.

Respectfully,

Sworn to before me this" diay of March, 2026
