獻給我卓越的法律團隊－安妮瑪莉、特蕾莎以及科切特皮特與麥卡錫律師事務所的全體同事：

此刻，我的內心充滿感激之情，難以言喻。在我與銀行的這場官司中，我們已到了一個關鍵的轉捩點，對於你們每一個人，我滿懷謝意。

2024 年初我們開始這場訴訟時，我感到迷茫，面對著一個看似無法戰勝的強大巨人。是你們化身為我的守護勇士。當你們奮力反擊與銀行駁回動議的抗爭，那是我在黑暗中看到的第一道曙光。我們不僅贏得了那場交鋒，更推動案件走向調解恊商的結局，這堪稱奇蹟，而這完全歸功於你們的卓越智慧和不屈的毅力。

但我得跟您講真話，對我而言，這從來都不只是錢的問題。整整兩年，您為我做的遠超越法律的範疇，在我瀕臨崩潰的時候，是您們緊緊握住我的手，給我精神上的支持。您對待我的案子就像對待自己的事一樣，那份溫暖直抵我的靈魂深處。那份關愛就是我的救命稻草。在我最黑暗的時刻，您給我希望和力量，不僅鼓勵我繼續為這個案子抗爭，更是實實在在地讓我得以活下去。

你對我的信任如此強大，讓我重新鼓起勇氣找回自己的聲音。正是在你們激勵，我得以累積力量站在參議員和眾議員面前作證。是你們幫助我將傷痛轉化為使命，讓壓力變身變成力量。

這不只是一段法律上的歷程，更是一段心靈成長之旅。我深信，上帝將你們每一個人安排在我的生命中，自有其深意一一你們正是我這段人生篇章的引路人與守護者。

感謝你為我而戰。感謝你們對我關懷。感謝你們在我自我懷疑時，依然相信我。感謝你們成為我生命中如此重要的存在。在我生命中扮演如此重要的角色。我會將你為我所做的一切永遠銘記於心。

謹以全部的愛與感激献給你們！

A Thank You Letter to My Attorney Team

To my incredible legal team, Anne Marie, Theresa, and everyone at Cotchett Pitre & McCarthy LLP:

I am writing this with a heart so filled with gratitude, it’s hard to find the words. We have reached a pivotal point in my case against the bank, and I am overwhelmed with thankfulness for each and every one of you.

When we began this fight in the beginning of 2024, I felt lost, facing a powerful giant that seemed impossible to defeat. But you became my warriors. Your fierce battle against the banks motion to dismiss was my first glimpse of light in the darkness. The fact that we not only won that fight but also ensured that it ended in a mediation for a settlement is a miracle that I owe entirely to your brilliance and unwavering determination.

But I need to tell you the whole truth. This was never just about the money for me. For two long years, you have done so much more than just practice law. You held my hand and gave me emotional support when I was breaking. You treated my case as if my concerns were your own; I felt your warmth deep within my soul. That love was a lifeline. In my darkest moments, the hope and strength you gave me did more than encourage me to continue fighting for this case—it truly helped keep me alive.

Your belief in me was so powerful that it gave me the courage to find my own voice again. Because of your encouragement, I found the strength to stand and testify before Senators and Assembly members. You helped me turn my pain into purpose and my stress into strength.

This has been more than a legal journey; it has been a journey of the heart. I am certain that God placed each of you in my life for a reason, to be my guides and my guardians through this chapter.

Thank you for fighting for me. Thank you for caring for me. Thank you for believing in me when I struggled to believe in myself. Thank you for being such an important presence in my life. I will carry the memories of what you have done for me for the rest of my life.

With all my love and gratitude,

Alice
