Help a Devoted Father Fight for His Daughter

Help Me Cross the Finish Line for My Daughter
Hi, my name is Scott, and I’m a father doing everything I can to stay present and involved in my daughter Ember’s life.

The past few years have been a long, emotional journey through the family court system. We've made tremendous progress—step by step, hearing by hearing—and the bond between me and my daughter has grown stronger than ever. With support from professionals, parenting classes, and personal growth, we’ve come so far. But now, we’re nearing the final phase of this process, and I’m facing one of the hardest challenges yet: affording the cost to go to trial.

The financial burden of legal representation is immense. I’ve exhausted every resource I have—I sold my house to cover legal expenses, and I’ve traveled out of town for work just to earn a little extra. My credit is maxed, and the stress of not knowing how I’ll finish this is overwhelming. This fight has never been about winning—it’s about being there for my daughter, giving her stability, love, and the future she deserves with both parents in her life.

It breaks my heart to think that everything we've worked so hard to build could fall apart—not because I’ve failed as a father, but because I simply can’t afford to finish the legal process.

So I’m asking for help. If you can give anything, even a small amount, it would bring me one step closer to securing the stability my daughter needs. Your support means the world to me—and to her. You’re not just helping fund a trial, you’re helping preserve a relationship that means everything.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring. And thank you for standing with us as we cross this finish line.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Scott
