Hello, my name is Heather, and I’m a mother of three incredible children: Adrian (10), Alana (8), and Avery (4). I’m writing this with a vulnerable heart, asking for your support during the most emotionally and financially difficult time of our lives.
After years in a marriage where my voice was often silenced and my independence slowly stripped away, I finally made the decision to file for divorce. It wasn’t easy—but it was necessary for my well-being and, more importantly, for the emotional safety and future of my children.
Throughout our marriage, I took on the full responsibility of raising our children—attending school meetings, therapy sessions, and doctor’s visits alone. I’ve built their routines, comforted their fears, and provided the love and structure they need to thrive, even while navigating overwhelming emotional challenges behind closed doors.
Now, I’m in the midst of a custody and divorce case that threatens the stability I’ve worked so hard to create. I moved just across the street from their father to keep their school routine intact, but I’ve been left to face most of this legal process alone, without representation.
To make matters more difficult, my financial situation has drastically changed. I no longer have access to the income from the business I originally started, so I took a leap and opened my own business a few months ago. Building it from the ground up without my previous client base has been slow, and to make ends meet, I’m also working a part-time job. I’m doing everything I can—working seven days a week—just to keep my family afloat.
Due to the ongoing dispute, I don’t have access to my old car since it wasn’t in my name, and I’ve been borrowing my parents’ car just to get around.
I’ve done everything in my power to shield my children from conflict, but the legal costs are mounting fast, and I can’t do this without help. I need an attorney to ensure my children remain safe, supported, and able to grow in a home where peace, patience, and love guide every decision.
This isn’t just a legal fight—it’s a fight to protect three little hearts who’ve already endured enough confusion and change. If you can give, no matter how small, or simply share this with someone who might be able to help, it would mean the world to us.
Thank you for seeing me. Thank you for standing with us.
With love and gratitude,
Heather
