<div><strong>Help a Mother Reunite With Her Children</strong>

</div>

</div>

<div>For the last several years, I have been caught in a custody battle that feels endless. I am a mother of two amazing children, and all I want is the chance to be there for them in the way they need. Unfortunately, the family court system often comes down to resources, and right now, I am running out of them.

<div>For over a decade, I was a stay-at-home mom, fully devoted to raising my kids. I never built a career and now I’m facing the consequences of that. Living in Los Angeles while paying for ongoing legal fees has become impossible. I work as hard as I can to make ends meet, but every extra dollar goes straight to court costs. Without help, I fear losing the ability to fight for my place in my children’s lives.This case has been going on for four years now.

<div>Last year, the stress of trying to survive in LA and support my family as a single mom while working grueling hours broke me. In July, I experienced a psychiatric crisis. Thankfully, I am now stable, receiving treatment, and healthier than I have been in years. My children were never exposed to that instability, but it has been used against me. What was once equal custody has now become supervised visitation — visits I must pay for out of my own pocket.

<div>I know I am a good mother. My children know it, too. My teenager — who is transgender / struggling with his own mental health issues and deeply in need of steady, unconditional support — has told me he wants to live with me again. I cannot give up on them, no matter how difficult this fight becomes.

<div>I don’t share these words lightly. It’s terrifying to speak out at all, but I cannot stay silent while the future of my family is at stake. Every contribution will go directly to legal fees, so I can keep standing up for my children while also keeping a roof over our heads in Los Angeles.

<div>If you are able, please help. Whether through a donation or by sharing this campaign, you are giving me a fighting chance to remain the steady, loving presence my children deserve.

<div><strong>Thank you from the bottom of my heart.</strong>
