Saundra Counce, RN
counce@comcast.net | The Pro Se Help Desk
This page is under construction and is being spearheaded by our very own dedicated member, Saundra Counce, RN. (left) in a collaborative effort with founding member Dr. Jeffrey Fudin. Saundra`s undying strength to fight against the injustices placed before her has been inspiring to all of our members. With little more to lose, and without an attorney, she has continued to plunge forward as her own counsel in the absence of funds to fight the corrupt system that fails to protect federal workers. We are all hopeful that the time, energy, and effort Saundra has has put forth will help others that are left destitute and must fight for themselves or walk away. The difference in upcoming battles for our colleagues is that you will have the help of a network of professionals that have already traveled down the unfortunate winding road to disappointment, as we learned that federal whistleblower protection is almost nonexistent. We hope to change that! |
