$68,000 in legal costs stand between my children and justice. As a disabled mom already in debt, I cannot afford this alone — but I must appeal to protect them. Every gift helps ensure two children’s voices are not silenced.

I’m a loving mom of two children in Victoria, British Columbia.

Right now, I have been separated from them in ways I believe are not in their best interests, and it is breaking their hearts.

I am fighting for an appeal to ensure their voices and needs are truly heard.

To do this, I must purchase the official court transcripts — a cost of at least $28,000 before the project can even begin. That is nearly two years of my income, as I am currently on disability benefits and unable to work.

On top of this, I am already more massive debt from legal fees, — continued expenses are completely out of reach for me.

When the law is not used to protect kids and instead used to harm them, the truth needs to be brought to light. A formal review of how the law is not being properly applied — and the dangerous effects on my children’s lives of this injustice — is necessary.

Every gift, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to justice and to protecting two children whose hearts are longing to be heard.
