Signal Boosting

Because this is one of those things that's completely wrong, but easily fixed.

The abuse went on for months before I finally hit my breaking point. While I was pregnant with our son, it escalated. When my son was only four months old, he was on the bed next to me when his father strangled me and then threatened to stomp my head in with steel toed boots. I left. And I got a restraining order against him the very next day.

But when I tried to cancel his line on our joint contract with Sprint - which was in my name - Sprint told me the charge to do so would be $200. I had a four month old baby, no job, no income and no steady place to stay. And I was terrified. $200 could make or break my attempt to stay safe and take care of my little one. Not to mention that my abuser could access my phone records to find me. Sprint wouldn't budge. Even when I said I could provide a copy of the court mandated restraining order, they said they couldn't waive the fee. A year later, they are still fighting me for it.

I know online petitions aren't a great way to make change, but it worked on Verizon.
