Urgent Help Needed for Carter and Our Family

We are reaching out because our family is in crisis and we need your help. Our beloved, Carter, suffers from severe mental health challenges that have left our entire family devastated. Despite exhausting every available mental health resource in Indiana, Carter’s condition has led to repeated hospitalizations and episodes of extreme aggression that leave us all frightened and heartbroken.

Every day is a battle—not only for Carter, but for his sister, Keira, and Cousin, Emma, who are deeply traumatized by the chaos at home. It’s been a constant struggle to manage his unpredictable behavior, and our attempts to secure proper treatment have hit roadblocks. Recently, the hospital informed us that further interventions will only offer temporary relief without addressing the underlying issues. With the limited options available, we are now forced to pursue legal action to ensure Carter receives the long-term, specialized care he desperately needs.

We are seeking funds to hire an experienced family law attorney who can help us petition a judge to secure a placement for Carter in a residential facility or group home that understands and can manage his complex needs. This isn’t just about getting Carter the help he needs—it’s about protecting his sister, our daughter and preserving the hope for a safer, healthier future for our entire family.

Any support you can provide, whether through prayers, a donation or by sharing our story, is deeply appreciated. Thank you for being a part of our journey toward healing and a better tomorrow.
