Anastasia's Secured Safety - Custody

I have been able to get out of an abusive relationship with my daughter's father and also escape abuse from my father, including my father attempting to turn me against my mother in retaliation for divorcing him. The fight for me and my daughter's safety is not over yet. I am fighting for sole physical and legal custody of my daughter Anastasia Grace White and asking that the court only allow supervised visitation for her father at Safe Passages or Armand House. Safe Passages and Armand House provide safe and supervised interactions between separated parents when there is domestic violence, abuse, and other issues involved to allow the child to have safe, healthy, and civil interactions and time spent with both parents. I have fought and battled for my whole life and more intensely over the past 6 years of my life to get safe from and heal from physical, emotional, financial, and psychological abuse from my father and my ex-boyfriend. Through therapy that I've had so far at The House of Ruth and in individual therapy, I have learned the cycle and dynamics of abuse and how to recognize when I am in an abusive relationship. I have suffered a lot of trauma  and gaslighting and am going to weekly therapy to help me to continue to heal and learn to enjoy life despite what I have endured and as I continue to co-parent with my abuser. I have hired an attorney to help me with my case and the final custody hearing isn't until March 2021. There are many steps along the way that I will need my attorney's guidance and services for which will mean I will be spending a lot of money on attorney's fees on top of expenses I have for caring for Anastasia, weekly therapy, and my personal bills. I am grateful for the support I have received from my loved ones and all of their prayers and kind words. I am in need of financial assistance to continue the fight to ensure my daughter's safety and healthy childhood so that she may never have to suffer the same trauma I have and her father has. I do not want her to be around substance abuse, physical violence, gaslighting, being cursed at, and having negative examples around her for how to function in the world. I am encouraging her father to get the help he needs and to honestly and earnestly manage his diagnosed schizophrenia, substance abuse issues, anger and violence issues, and face his trauma from childhood sexual, physical, and emotional abuse so that he can be a healthy influence in our daughter's life and feel strong enough to protect her from his abusive family members and friends. 

If I can keep up with my attorney's fees and therapy bills, I am confident that I can protect my daughter and fight this fight for her. She is a happy and healthy baby girl and I want to provide an environment for her that supports her continued development and growth into a happy, healthy, safe, and confident person and give her a life free of abuse and family and relational trauma.  No donation is too small and I am grateful for all of you that are able to help. I am praying and faithful that God will protect her.
