On Tuesday, a woman who couldn't afford her $1,500 bail killed herself in a Texas county jail.

Almost 90% of my clients can't make bail of just $500.

Instead of donating to #PeterStrzok's GoFundMe, please donate to @BKBailFund who pay bail for those who are unable up to $2,000.Rebecca J. Kavanagh added,
