Alcina (Cina) is fighting to provide safety, stability, and family support for her nephew, Antwan.

Antwan is a young child who deserves to grow up in a safe, loving, and stable home. Alcina has stepped forward because she loves him deeply and wants to ensure he has the care, consistency, and protection he needs. She has raised Antwan for years in her community, surrounding him with the same love, steadiness, and care that she shares so generously with everyone around her.

For those who know Cina, you know she gives so much to her community. She is loved by neighbors, friends, and family alike because she is the kind of person who shows up for people. She offers her time, her care, her heart, and her support whenever someone needs her.

Now Cina needs her friends, family, and community to show up for her.

Custody cases are complicated, emotional, and expensive - especially for family members who are not the child’s birth parent but are trying to step in when a child needs them most. Alcina is doing everything she can, but she needs legal support to navigate the process and make sure Antwan’s needs are represented clearly and effectively.

Funds raised will go directly toward legal fees and court-related costs, including attorney consultations, filing fees, preparation of legal documents, and representation in the custody case.

This is about giving Antwan the best chance at stability, safety, and a future surrounded by family and community who love him. If you feel moved to support in any way, it will go a long way toward bringing a sweet child home to safety and those who love him dearly.

If you are unable to give, sharing this fundraiser would also mean so much.

Let’s show up for Cina the way she shows up for us.

Thank you, community, for supporting Alcina and Antwan during this critical time!
