Support Carrie with legal funds for custody hearing

Donation protected
Carrie is one of the most loving and dedicated mothers I know. She is a business leader and role model for young women, serving on multiple nonprofit boards and raising funds for charity. She is my friend and a beacon of light in our community.

Three years ago she was a married, stay at home mom taking care of her three beautiful girls. She left a high paying job at Boeing to give her children all of her time.

Her life changed when she initiated a divorce from her then husband. He embarked upon a campaign to deprive her of access to her kids. He brought false allegations to the police which were dismissed, but by doing so, he and his lawyers prevented her from the usual 50:50 access to the girls.

For three years she has been in limbo waiting for the case to be heard. She has missed first days at school, birthdays, and holidays while waiting for resolution.
She has spent thousands on legal fees and has reached the end of her funds. We have sought all avenues for free legal help, without success.

With the end in sight, and the custody case scheduled for this month, she needs our support to secure a lawyer. Please give what you can to help this mother and these girls to rebuild precious memories together. Share this widely!
