Ensure Safety for a Mother and Her Child

I'm raising money for a good church friend and her 10 year old daughter. She safely got out of an abusive situation with her daughter and is trying to get a divorce from her (soon-to-be-ex) husband/absuer (and the father of her daughter). She has the divorce papers, but she needs a divorce lawyer to argue her case in court to make sure the custody agreement protects both herself and her daughter from future abuse and financial retribution.

She has been working with a wonderful Christian divorce lawyer, but is unable to afford her fee. The lawyer suggested starting a GoFundMe to raise money for the legal fees. However, she is currently in a safe shelter and needs to remain anonymous for protection. The lawyer's usual fees are $30,000, but the lawyer agreed to work with her partially pro-bono as long as she can raise at least 1/3 of the money, which is $10,000.

I am in daily contact with her, as she is a dear friend. She turned to me for help creating a GoFundMe so that she can safely remain anonymous, and I will ensure all funds raised will go directly to the lawyer's fee.

If you cannot donate, please at least share this fundraiser on social media to help spread the word. And prayer is much-needed and always appreciated. Thank you so much for your prayers and support in this tough situation.
