Hi, my name is Chad. I’m a devoted father doing everything I can to stay present in my son’s life during an incredibly difficult time.

After a long and painful separation, I’m now facing an unexpected divorce and a custody battle that I can’t afford to fight alone. I’m not someone who asks for help easily—but I’ve reached the point where I need to.

My son is my whole world. I’ve been there for him every step of the way—through school, through struggles, through laughter and late nights and bedtime stories. But now, that connection is at risk.

Legal representation is expensive, and time is critical. I’m trying to raise enough to cover attorney fees and court costs so I can make sure my rights as a father are protected, and so my son still has the steady, loving presence he deserves.

I’m not perfect—but I love my son with everything I have, and I won’t stop fighting for him. Any donation, no matter how small, helps more than you know. And if you can’t donate, sharing this means the world too.

Thank you for reading, and for standing with me.
