Help Us Secure a Safe Future for Our Family
Dear friends, family, and compassionate strangers,
Today, I reach out to you with a heavy heart and a hopeful spirit as I navigate one of the most challenging chapters of my life — a custody and child support battle that has tested my strength and resilience. With my family's financial resources stretched thin, we find ourselves in dire need of support.
Despite working tirelessly, my family faces difficulties meeting basic needs while trying to secure a stable and loving environment for my son. The emotional toll this process has taken on us is immense, compounded by the fact that we've had to hire two different lawyers over this battle to navigate the complexities of this legal fight. Adding to our struggle, there is an individual who has manipulated the situation at every turn, making it even harder for us to move forward. It is embarrassing for me to do this, and it's crazy because my husband and I both have good jobs. We work hard and we are good people. We have fought for this and we will continue to fight for my son.
I humbly ask for your aid. Your contributions will help cover the costs of legal fees and ensure my kids don't go without. We are down to spending money that should be going to covering our monthly finances. What is important is ensuring that my son has the representation he deserves in order to protect his well-being. Together, we can create a brighter, more secure future for him — one filled with love, stability, and the assurance that his best interests are at the forefront of our battle.
Any amount you can give, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in our lives. Your kindness and generosity will not only help us through this challenging time but will also serve as a reminder that we are never alone.
We are also coming around to the holiday season and to watch as my kids are disappointed with no gifts will be heartbreaking as we have worked so hard to give them everything they need. Our court endeavor has lasted from June and will continue on into January. We have spent close to $7,000 out of our own funds and it still isn't enough. But to continue and keep our family from losing everything, we are begging. We don't have anything left.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Your support means the world to us and brings us one step closer to achieving a safe and loving environment for my son. For context, the other party has tried to make every effort to bring us down, so now the fight is over money and not the child.
My heart as a mom is broken and I don't know where to go next. I have searched all the channels and have done all the right things, but I still can't catch a break. I'm in tears trying to fight, but even though I'm a good person, I still don't feel like I have the upper hand to come through this, without outside support.
With gratitude,
Valerie Jones
