Help Bring My Children Back Home ❤️
Donation protected
Dear friends, family, and anyone who feels called to help,
This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do—asking for help like this. But I’m out of options, and my children need me. That’s why I’m here, reaching out with everything I have left.
Three and a half months ago, my two oldest children were suddenly and traumatically taken from me—at the exact time we were supposed to be welcoming their new baby sister into the world. This decision was unjust, not based on evidence, and not in the best interest of my children. What should have been a time of love, bonding, and new beginnings turned into a nightmare.
Since that moment, I’ve been fighting every single day to bring them back home and to protect them from ongoing emotional harm.
I’ve used every resource I have—emotionally, financially, and physically. I’ve held on with strength I didn’t know I had, working tirelessly to advocate for my kids through a complicated, unjust, and draining legal system. I have been exploited by attorneys and my vulnerabilities have been used to take advantage of me at a time where I would do anything for help. The system is broken. Unfair and unjust would be an understatement.
I have explored and tried every avenue to get them back and have been repeatedly told I must wait until trial to fight for my kids. I have played by all the rules, complied with everything asked of me, paid absurd amounts of money in legal fees, and persevered through one of the most painful and traumatic situations a mother could experience. All while having a new baby and recovering from a c-section.
But now, just a week before a trial, a sudden change in the financial circumstance with my attorney has left me unable to move forward with representation at this trial. I no longer have access to the funds I need to pay for legal representation, expert testimony, and the critical support services required for this case. This is the one chance I have to get my children back. The one chance I have to fight for them so they could be reunited with their primary attachment figure and their newborn sister. I fear the truth won’t be seen—and my children will continue to suffer because of it.
This is my last resort. I wouldn’t be here if I had any other option. I’m asking for your help—not just for me, but for my children who deserve to feel safe, protected, and loved.
Every donation, no matter how small, will make a direct and immediate impact. If you’re not in a position to give, please share this with someone who might be.
Thank you for reading this. Thank you for caring. And thank you for helping me fight for my children.
With all my heart
