Help me get my daughter back

Donation protected
On June 19, 2018, my 4 year old daughter was kidnapped by my parents. I had made a commitment to volunteer for a creation based ministry over the summer for a period of one month. My parents beliefs differ from mine regarding creation vs evolution, and they did not support my decision to serve in this ministry. On the day we were supposed to leave, my parents had planned out and executed a kidnapping to keep me from taking my daughter with me to what they would claim to be a cult. In reality, it is a 501(c)(3) ministry, a status that would not be granted to an actual cult. They did this without any sort of court order or permission from a judge or DHR. My mother, after successfully stealing my child went to family court to file for emergency custody of my daughter and a protective order against me. Both of these were petitioned for and obtained with false allegations and outright fraud. I have since been fighting for my rights as best I can. After 205 days, 4 continuances, an attorney that didn’t show up and quit after being paid $1,300, another “volunteer” attorney that said he took my case but never actually did, and currently, a court appointed attorney who can only represent me in one aspect of this multi-faceted case, I have decided to reach out for help. I have been working hard and saving on my own and had saved about  $2,000, most of which I planned on going towards paying a retainer for a quality attorney, however, recently I had to put over $1,500 into repairs and tires for my car, which is my source of income as I am a delivery driver. I am now back to square one trying to earn enough funds to hire an attorney. I hate even asking for money, but at this point, I am out of options. This case is being drug out and my rights are being trampled due to my lack of adequate representation. I fear that due to the length of time my parents have been able to have temporary custody of my daughter, the judge will be less inclined to remove her from their care regardless of the fraudulent means in which they obtained temporary custody. I sincerely hope if you have read this far that you will prayerfully consider donating to my cause. I am a God-fearing Christian and a loving and capable father. My daughter adores me and wants to be able to live with me, as she has expressed several times during the limited, supervised visitations I have been able to have with her. I would like to than you in advance for your support and generosity, and am willing to answer any questions you may have concerning this matter.
