Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your help during one of the most challenging chapters of my life. I’m navigating a toxic, high-conflict divorce that has turned my world upside down, emotionally and financially. My children and I are caught in the middle, and I’m fighting to provide them with the stability and love they deserve while facing overwhelming obstacles.

This divorce has been anything but amicable. The legal battles have drained my savings, with lawyer fees piling up faster than I can keep up. These costs are necessary to protect my children’s well-being and secure a fair outcome, but they’ve left me stretched thin. On top of that, I’m struggling to cover rent, car payments, and the everyday expenses that keep our household running—groceries, utilities, school supplies, and the little things that bring a bit of normalcy to my kids’ lives.

My children are my everything, and it breaks my heart to see them affected by this turmoil. I’m doing all I can to shield them from the stress, but the financial strain makes it hard to give them the secure, happy environment they need. The weight of court dates, mediation, and ongoing conflict has made it feel like I’m climbing an impossible mountain.

I’ve always been someone who works hard and takes pride in providing for my family, but right now, I need a lifeline. Your support would mean the world to us. Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward:

• Legal fees to cover lawyer costs and court expenses, ensuring my children’s best interests are protected.

• Rent and utilities to keep a safe, stable home for my kids.

• Car payments to maintain reliable transportation for work, school, and appointments.

• Children’s needs, like school supplies, clothing, and activities to bring some joy amidst the chaos.

• Daily essentials to help us get by during this overwhelming time.

If you can’t donate, I completely understand—your prayers, kind words, or sharing this campaign would mean just as much. Your support, in any form, gives us hope that we can get through this storm and start rebuilding a brighter future.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read our story. Your generosity will help my children and me find our footing again, and I promise to pay it forward when we’re back on solid ground.

With gratitude,

Ashley Goodram
