Bail & Attorney Fees for a CT Protective Mom

One of our CPM moms has been arrested for sending a text message while having a heart attack. Her ex-husband had custody of the kids since 2019 and her only visitation as per determined by him. As so many protective moms are, MS was broken down emotionally, financially, legally and now physically as she suffered a heart attack and needed surgery to implant 2 stents. On March 1, she texted her ex-husband while in the hospital having a heart attack and awaiting surgery and just wanted to speak to her children to hear their voices for fear she may not make it. She filed a contempt against him 2 weeks later for interfering with her visitation of the children. Then, and only then, he had her arrested as a felon for breaking her restraining order for texting him from the hospital. She was arrested on April 4 at 9:30 am and put in handcuffs and told she could not take her heart medication before leaving to be booked. She had another heart attack and is now in the hospital undergoing another procedure. She was handcuffed to bed. She will need to appear on Thursday, April 6 in Middletown for arraignment. We have a criminal attorney for her, but need to raise $2000 for her bail and $$ for the attorney.
