JETTE & KIKI NEED YOUR HELP URGENTLY

---

On March 23, 2025, my life took an unexpected turn when I experienced a  cardiac event at my home in Nashville, TN. In my moment of desperate need, my service dog, trained to assist me in medical emergencies, went to seek help. Rather than being seen as the life-saving companion that  she is, this action has led to an unjust and illegal eviction notice  from my residence.

This eviction is not only unfair but also  goes against the laws protecting tenants and service animals. Nashville,  like many cities, has specific legal provisions that safeguard  individuals like myself, who live with designated service animals. These  animals are not pets; they are trained to provide necessary and often  life-saving assistance. My dog's actions were in accordance with her  training and ultimately aimed at preserving my life.

The eviction  notice issued to me is not only illegal but also puts my life and  well-being at risk. It disregards the essential role that service  animals play in the lives of their handlers, and it violates fair  housing laws that are in place to protect individuals with disabilities  in our community.

I am calling upon the city officials of  Nashville, & the Governor of Tennessee, Bill Lee, legal bodies, and  compassionate individuals in our community to stand against this illegal  eviction. There are laws, such as the Fair Housing Act and the  Americans with Disabilities Act, intended to protect the rights of  individuals with disabilities, ensuring they have the same housing  opportunities as everyone else. 

It is imperative that Nashville  uphold these laws and values. Evicting someone because of a situation  where a service animal performed its duty is not only unconscionable but  also unlawful. Our community must send a strong message that we support  individuals living with disabilities and their rights to fair housing.

Please  sign this petition to help stop my illegal eviction and uphold the  rights and dignity of service animal handlers in Nashville. Together, we  can ensure that our laws are enforced and that justice prevails.
