Hello, my name is Lashanda McNealy McFadden. I am a mother of 8 children: 19, 17, 13, 7, 5, and 4.

Currently, I am going through a custody battle for my 13-year-old son, AJ. I lost in court on July 21; however, I don’t feel like the decision was fairly made. I need to get a lawyer, a car, and a bigger house.

They gave custody to a man yet he’s been an in-and-out father for the past 13 years. It’s unfortunate because my son does not want to go live with his dad. If you guys want more details about the backstory behind the situation, I’m willing to give that to you privately. This is just a brief description of what I’m going through. If you are able to help in any way to bring my family back together, I really appreciate it. It’s not over until God says it’s over, but I’m gonna fight for my son.
