Donate to help Carrie With Legal Bills

Hi, my name is Dee Dee and I'm raising funds for my amazing co-worker and friend as she fights for the safety and well-being of her grandkids. Carrie has been taking care of her grandkids for months without any help or contact from their parents. She provided everything for these kids, a safe and loving home, a great school and all things financial. She opened her home in July for the parents to come to Tennessee to get a new start. She didn't ask anything of them except to get jobs and to treat the kids and Carrie's family with respect. Carrie continued to be the primary caretaker of the kids as she took them to school every day and then home again after working her shift. She asked the parents to help get the kids ready in the am and to help with the evening duties when they weren't working.

In Carrie's own words this is what happened:

"Some of you may already know that Aiala, Draco and Drayven are gone. Over Labor Day weekend while my husband and I took Aiala and Draco to North Carolina to visit family, the mother packed all her stuff to move back to Michigan. Upon arriving home Aiala's mother asked for the car seat out of my car and stated she was taking the children back to Michigan. She stated that we would never see the children again. All of this because I would not turn a blind eye to her husband's drinking, threats to Aiala and neglect by both parents of the children. We spoke up for our grandbabies and now they are gone. We are devastated beyond measure. But...the children are NOT safe with them. THE WORRY has destroyed us emotionally and mentally. We living in a mental hell. We have had no contact with the children and are beside ourselves. Our joy has been ripped from us. We have hired an attorney to fight for emergency custody and we need financial help. I hate asking...I hate posting very personal information, but we are DESPERATE to ensure the safety of our grandchildren. We would do anything! If you could help us in any way, we would be so very GRATEFUL! PLEASE PLEASE HELP US BRING THEM HOME, WHERE THEY ARE SAFE, SECURE AND LOVED UNCONDITIONALLY!!"

Carrie and Mike both work very hard but unfortunately do not have any extra money to fight this battle. They have used a credit card to get this ball rolling but could really use any help.
