My Way Back to Kade

Donation protected
I humbly ask that anyone who is able to contribute towards the rejoining of my son, Kade Jacob&Myself, please do so. I am so very grateful that Kade has been kept safe and is advancing as a child his age should (or even further~he's already reading!). But it is unfortunate and unnecessary for my parents who have guardianship over him to have kept and continue to keep my son and I at such a distance from one another. On July 11th, it will be a year since I asked them to care for my son  and on the 18th I was served their petition for guardianship and was absolutely shocked and emotionally affected by the things they wrote on that legal document about why I am, or was an unfit mother. They wrote the most disgusting of untrue things about me to support their petition and then told me if I informed Kade about what was going on, they would cut ALL contact.. he had no idea and would sometimes beg for me to just come home.
8 months prior I took the initiative to attend barberschool and obtain my barber's license; doing so, while still juggling clients.. My my mother retired around the same time I began my schooling and became very territorial over my son and how he was to be raised. It was hurtful, frustrating, and depressing, because there wasn't too much I could do to stop her. The cost of his private school he had been attending since age 3, my own schooling, my car..etc.. her help was well needed. 
It got to a point where I wanted to move out of their household and came to Las Vegas since I had lived her before and knew it was affordable for a single mother, barber and Cosmo to thrive. I left Kade behind at first and by the things he would say, I could tell my mother didn't want him coming with me.. I felt threatened and (yes) in a panic, I picked Kade up sooner than I had planned. We got an extended stay, where my money n car were stolen. .. rather than allowing Kade to know and experience my struggle (while relocating), I selflessly asked my parents to take him back to LA with them.
CPS has never and is not involved, yet I do not have a visitation order placed (and yes I've asked repeatedly for one). .. when my son and I speak over the phone, he must always have it on speakerphone and someone is always listening. When I come to town to visit with him, I am only allowed short, monitored visits(usually monitored by either or both of my parents and usually at their home). Ive fought them in court twice, it's clear that I will need a lawyer to ever get my rights back.
I've taken time for myself to heal and accept my reality. My parents have no interest in preserving my son's and my relationship and although my parents claim to care ONLY for Kade's safety and well being, they are also harming him in other devastating of ways.. also but less importantly, they're also harming me and my ability to fight back.
I am not allowed to sleep next to my son and really haven't been able to hold him, like a mother should since they took him away.
Kade now knows that they are keeping him from me and can obviously recognize that my family has no remorse for the pain they cause me.. he loves me unconditionally and for that I am still willing to push forward. ..
This is a story of true terror, deceit, abandonment, and heartache.
Please, even if only a little would you contribute to my move back to Los Angeles and the lawyer I will surely need.
I have no interest of punishing the people who treat me less than a person.. I want and have continued to reconcile with them, even without so much of an acknowledgement of one of the lies they told.
I wish to move BACK to the Burbank/Studio City area(where I barbered and styled for years to do so again), so that my son Kade doesn't have to experience anymore absence of love, or anymore major changes in his life. Regardless of whether or not Steven and Kathy Magallanes have been heartless towards me, their youngest daughter, they are Kades family, and I won't take that away from him.

Thank you for hearing my cry.
