I am trying to raise money to afford adequate legal representation. My daughter is my blood life. I have learned it is better not to voice the details of my case...everything I've said has been used against me since this began.
I knew in my heart that it wasn't up to me to decide wether or not My daughters father was in my childs life. It was her choice.
I loved my daughter and embraced motherhood from before I knew I was pregnant, my clock was ticking so to speak.
I named her before I knew it was a girl, because I knew she was a girl.
The reality here is that I work full time and still I am on food stamps I do not make enough to afford the commute of 3 hours for each court hearing. My daughters dad is a man with impenetrable financial resource and yet assists in no way for child care or support.
I am a nurse assistant and one day I hope to be a nurse practitioner. I want to keep going to school but with this battle I'm not able to handle the weight of work, court, parenting and school. I've had to give up on that dream for now and stay focused on "winning" custody. My daughter needs me, and I need her. And we both need me to be in a better way financially. School advancement will get us there, one day. In my work I am lucky enough to care for those who really need my help. Now I really need your help. I can say with certainty the blessings will be payed forward.
I want to have life back where I can take my daughter to the zoo, swim lessons and not be afraid of gas running out on the way to school. I want to live the life where I am the woman I teach my daughter to be, not the half shell I am...I have worked my way through school and worked my way to a career all while forging through the hells of custody battle after custody battle...our last trial is this december. Please, help us to end this and get back to living. I thank you, from every fiber of my being. Thank you. And may this year bring love and life for you.
