Domestic Violence Help Needed

I am reaching out to anyone who may be able to help as I’m trying to raise funds to obtain legal help to protect my kids. I left an abusive marriage over 4 years ago and the ensuing battle and legal fees have left me completely depleted. I’m working full time plus two part time jobs to provide for my children’s needs.  The system has failed these kids time and time again. They live in fear and several months ago fled in fear of their lives and continue to live in fear every day. Yet another custody battle is ahead and I have been trying to do this on my own, but I need a lawyer to help defend my children. I don’t feel I can adequately do this on my own anymore and I need help. Please... these kids deserve more than this and I don’t know how to do this anymore. It is not easy to ask for help..... I was recently told that it takes strength to ask for help So... if anyone can offer assistance we would be so appreciative  and thankful.
