Remaining Slavey



      I will be brief about this, but anyone can ask me for details.



       A young woman college student from Kenya was brought to my house to live on recommendation from the college. My house was the first place in her life she had freedom and independence. I was responsible to provide transportation. I made no profits, just extra expenses I charged.



       Then her uncle who supplied all the finances forced her out. She cried a lot when she had to return to another house treated like a slave. (Her uncle tried to block her communication with me, so I paid for her cell phone to continue.)  He paid the college to force her to sign a paper against me, and when I took another student to college I was arrested and put in jail. I had no money to buy my way out, 28 days before a lawyer could talk with me, no opportunity to tell the judge anything without a threat to return to jail.



        The key point is this woman always got around the block against me and continued sending messages from where she lived including Kenya. Most repeated is \"I love you\".  I treated her like a daughter, and hope if she ever has freedom she can return to my house and take care of me until I die (even if her uncle kills me).
