Guardian Ad Litem fund for Bella

As many know, Bella and I have been fighting for a long time for her rights.  My ex-husband has decided to file for sole custody, attempting to make it so I can't see, or talk to my child ever again.  He does this all because he needs power and control over me even though I am not with him any more.  He uses Bella to hurt me.  Andy is an evangelical christian who uses his religion to force Bella to be someone she's not.  Her happiness doesn't matter to him, he only wants her to hurt me.  Andy was very abusive towards me and I left him to get away from it and keep Bella safe.  We had been fighting to try and take his rights away but he waited until I was beat down and couldn't take any more, afford to fight him anymore, and at my absolute lowest, and he coersed me in to signing over temporary custody of Bella, while I was stuck in a room with him, having a nervous breakdown due to circumstances.  Knowing I had an attorney, Andy and his attorney chose to go around that and make sure I did not have the chance to get my attorney involved.  
Andy filed for sole custody shortly after moving Bella to Colorado.  He refuses to get Bella in to counseling with a qualified person, denying her identity despite her being insistent on who she is.  He's cut off her hair, is making her talk to Christian counselors who tell her the same thing her dad does, that it's shameful to be who she is, and that she has to do what god says. Bella is insistent with me that she will never be anyone other than Bella.  
My attorney has told me that the only way I will be able to get Bella back, and keep her safe, is if we get a Guardian Ad Litem to monitor her there, and show that her dad is not making any effort to support her identity.  This costs more money than I will ever be able to save.  Cost for Guardian Ad Litem can be up to $20,000.  If I don't raise this money, I will lose my child forever to a man who purely hates me and wants her only to make me miserable.  I love my daughter more than anything and it's killing me to be away from her.  Please help bring Bella home to me! #hernameisBella
