A single mom took a risky bet, dropping her last $900 on a rundown, abandoned house. What she found inside changed her life for good

The compound can save thousands, and it belongs to humanity, not to be buried by greed. I’ve hidden copies of my research and evidence in multiple places. If something happens to me, the truth will still come out, if the finder knows what to do.
