A Future of Love & Hope for Olivia

Help Olivia Get the Guardianship and Care She Deserves!

Dear Friends, Family, and Kindhearted Supporters,

I’m reaching out with deep love and hope for my incredible daughter, Olivia, who turned 19 last month. Olivia is a beautiful young woman with special needs, and she brings so much joy to my life and everyone she meets. However, as she’s now legally considered an adult, she requires a guardian to ensure her well-being, health, and happiness. Unfortunately, this has become a long and difficult journey that I cannot navigate alone.

For over a year, I have been fighting to secure the legal guardianship that Olivia needs. This journey has been filled with challenges, including a court hearing that took place without my knowledge, resulting in an unjust situation. Despite these obstacles, I have worked tirelessly to protect my rights as Olivia’s mother and to ensure she has the proper care and support she needs. I believe with all my heart that Olivia deserves to have both of her parents equally involved in her life.

At this time, Olivia does not have a legal guardian. As her mother, I cannot stand by and let this continue. Olivia deserves to have someone advocating for her, making sure she receives the medical care she needs and the opportunities to live her best life. I am determined to be that person for her, no matter how difficult the path.

I have already spent over $15,000 on legal fees, and while it’s been a financial burden, I will continue to fight for Olivia’s future. But now, I need your help. We have a mediation scheduled for next month, which is a crucial step toward securing guardianship. The total cost of this next stage is $5,000, including $2,000 for mediation and $3,000 for legal fees. This could finally be the turning point we’ve been working so hard for!

If you’re able to contribute, any amount—no matter how small—would mean the world to us. Your generosity and kindness have already helped us make tremendous progress, and with your support, we can cross this final hurdle together. If you're unable to donate, your prayers and well wishes for a positive outcome are just as appreciated.

Olivia is a bright, loving young woman, and I want nothing more than to secure her future with the love and care she deserves. I am so grateful for your love, your prayers, and your support in helping make this possible.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being part of this journey with us. Together, we can make a real difference in Olivia’s life!

With love and gratitude,
Christine Sims
