I fought for almost a year to get my daughter back to the U.S. after my (now) ex-wife abducted our teenage daughter, drained our bank accounts and savings, and took her overseas.

I was parentally alienated, lied about, and had minimal contact with my daughter during this absolutely horrific process, which not only drained me physically and mentally but left me financially destitute as well.

What little money I had to myself was depleted in the legal fees to get our daughter back home, money I was still sending my ex (I didn't want to be labeled as a "deadbeat"), and money I needed to get suitable living arrangements.

Most things were funded by high-interest loans.

Thankfully, my daughter is back home, but the road to recovery is a steep one due to all the trauma that was endured (mostly upon my innocent daughter)! And, my ex has begun a new life elsewhere.

I have a debilitating autoimmune disorder which ended my career a couple of years ago, on top of PTSD, and I have been working through it all to recover the best possible way I can to function again.

The mental strain that this has caused me will take years of therapy.

I could never imagine being so nasty and hurtful to someone!

I want to be the best possible version of myself for my daughter, as what happened to her was not her fault that she was cheated of her future.

I have returned to school to work on pursuing my dreams of education. I also have several job prospects lined up, but as you know: These things take time. And it would take a real long time to be able to fix the finances without auxiliary assistance from good-natured and generous people.

I am begging for peace!!!

I am seeking relief in order to pay off this large debt and have money leftover to put a downpayment on my daughter's dream she was robbed of: To have a small piece of land and raise a horse (she's been very passionate for years in the equestrian field).

I don't want my daughter to suffer due to someone's selfish and cruel actions. Because, due to the amount of debt (without help); I will never be able to give my daughter what she was promised and that breaks my heart!

Please consider my sad but hopeful cause.
