My name is David, and I’m in the fight of my life—not for money, status, or pride, but for the most precious thing I have: time with my children.

In 2021, a devastating motorcycle accident nearly took everything from me. I spent months in rehabilitation, determined to recover so I could keep being the father my kids know and love.

Six months later, my wife separated from me. Eventually, she filed for divorce. Even then, she promised she would never stand in the way of my being a present father.

But now that promise has been broken. After her recent remarriage, she has decided to move—and is seeking full physical and legal custody of our children. Not because I’m unfit. Not because I’ve done anything wrong. But because it’s more convenient for her.

I have been there for every moment that matters—bedtime stories, school projects, scraped knees, Sunday mornings at church, and the day my children chose to be baptized. They know me as a loving, steady presence. They deserve to keep that stability.

The only thing standing in the way is the cost of the legal battle.

To fight for shared custody, I must raise at least $8,000 for a retainer—plus more for court appearances and fees. Court filings and deadlines are already in motion, and every day counts. I’ve been selling what I can to cover costs, but I’m still far below what I need. Loans aren’t an option as I’m currently unemployed, though I’m actively pursuing full-time work.

This is not about “winning” a case—it’s about protecting my children’s right to have both parents actively in their lives. I want them to grow up knowing their father never stopped fighting for them.
