Broken Dad Needs Repairs.

My name is Joshua. I have two sons. Alex and Neal who are 5(autistic) and 7. For the past year and a half I have been a stay at home dad after losing my job when I broke my foot. As of the 27th of March, I find out my wife of 7 years was having an affair. We made a written agreement that I would keep the kids with me for the remainder of the school year. However. She took the kids. Took my car. Turned the phones off and ran. Now I have no clue where my children are and the police say there is nothing I can do. So I have been documenting everything. So here I am. Jobless, without my vehicle, or my kids. I've been job hunting since she left and have had a few possibilites come up. I also took myself down to ITT Tech to re enroll so I can finally have a degree to get out of these seasonal manual labor jobs I do. I litterally just put my last 10 dollars into my sisters car that she has been letting me use. Some help is much needed and I hate asking but I'm out of options. If I could just make 30 bucks off this, that would atleast give me a bit more gas money until I find work. I put $5000 because I'm pretty sure I need to hire a lawyer to help guide me through this painful time. And if I actually got some donations that is exactly what it will go to. Today is the first of April and also the 5th day I have had no contact with my children. Everyone keeps telling me to keep my head up but it's very difficult right now. Thank you for your time if you took a moment out of your day to read this.

*Update* Talked to a few lawfirms. The cheapest retainers I could find ranged from $1500-5000. SC Legal Aid can't offer any assistance to me. I also tried an organization called Upstate Father's Coalition but they also couldn't give me any advice or help.

I also found out today that my car she took. She parked it in a random Walmart somewhere in Alabama. (I'm in SC) She also called and put a cancelation on my insurance. It's as if she planned all of this and is trying to hurt me in every possible way. Losing my insurance can effectivley cause me to have my license suspended in this state. It took me nearly 6 years to regain my license. 

Even if you can't donate, please share this. Ask your friends to share it. Desperate times call for desperate measures. 

Regards,
