Even though Alecia Pennington was born at home in America, she can't prove her identity or citizenship. When she was born, her parents never got her a birth certificate or a social security number. Now a 19-year-old woman, Alecia is in desperate need of help as her lack of identification has thrust her into a bureaucratic nightmare.
In the video, she explains her dire situation: Because she was born at home, homeschooled, and has never been to a hospital, there are virtually no records of her existence. What's more shocking is that Alecia claims her own parents won't help her out! She even wrote to her county judge in Texas hoping he'd grant her a delayed birth certificate, but that claim was denied as there wasn't sufficient proof of her birth.
Now she's at a loss. Alecia is unable to get a job, go to college, travel, or even vote.
In her final plea, she hopes to connect with someone who has been in a similar situation so she can get advice on how to correct her ordeal.
