Brandee Ritsema-Michigan

In 2000, my mother fell off a horse leaving her in a coma for seven years. When she woke, she was paralyzed and brain injured. For 25 years, I navigated the probate system, learned the law, and fought back. I successfully had the facility charged twice for abuse and neglect. I feel in retaliation they worked to criminalize me as advocacy grew. My children were entangled in the family court system. I refuse to be silenced.
