http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/forMsJackson/ I, Sandra Jackson am at the mercy of the Court. Since my judgement on DUI charges & sentencing, dated, 03/19/2008, I was given the option of an Alternative Sentence of providing 138 hours of Volunteer work..At that time in my life, I chose to do my volunteer work at a church, that I felt could really utilize my assistance. During that tumultuous year, I have not only lost my job, but also lost my house to the foreclosure mess that over-ran this country from greedy mortgage companies and Real Estate fraud. I was left homless and had no where to turn. I was also in a situation where I had experienced Domestic Violence and was sexually assaulted for three days straight. Unsure, if I was ever going to see my family again, I pulled it together and tried to live a normal life. I hid it away in drinking & denial. I had no family in California to turn to, so I turned to AA meetings volunatrily to help me thru it. I contacted the Police as well as WEAVE to get the assistance that I needed. No one was willing to help me. I understand the courts must judge me on "not providing the correct amount of hours of community service", that I was sentenced for, but I have done community service in other ways, not mandated by the courts; i.e; I have volunteered for the Police Department in the VIP program & I have donated clothes & time to the Homeless Shelters, Loaves & Fishes as well as setting up a charity for the homeless thru a on-line store I have. All I ask is forgiveness, so I may resume my life and try to live in peace. I ask forgivemess of the Courts as well in God's Name, for HE knows of my pain & sorrow of these past years.
