<div>Hi, my name is Christina, and I never ever imagined I’d be here—writing this, asking for help. But the last 18months have completely changed my life, and I need support to keep going.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>I’m a mom of two beautiful young daughters who are my entire world. I’m also a domestic violence survivor. After finally finding the strength and courage to leave, I thought the hardest part was behind me—but instead, I’ve been facing new heartbreaks I never saw coming.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Since leaving, I’ve been fighting to be in my daughters’ lives and experiencing parental alienation, and the pain of being separated from them is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone. On top of that, I lost my biggest support system, my confidant, my everything on April 17, 2024, when my own mother passed away unexpectedly. After taking a leave of absence from work for several months to grieve my mother’s death, I returned to work and 3 months later, I lost my job—completely without warning.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>The emotional toll of the past 18 months has gone far beyond anything I ever imagined. It hasn’t just tested my strength—it’s tested my spirit. I’ve grieved in layers: the sudden loss of my mother, who was my anchor; the painful separation from my daughters, who are the very heartbeat of my soul; and the quiet, aching disappearance of the life I once knew.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Some days, it feels like I’m walking through a wilderness with no map—just raw faith and the hope that somehow, I’ll be led back to light. There have been many nights I’ve cried out to God, asking for clarity, for mercy, for just one moment of peace. I’ve felt shattered. Abandoned. Alone. But in those darkest places, I’ve also felt something deeper: the faint but steady presence of grace.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Even when everything around me has fallen apart, something sacred inside me refuses to. Call it resilience. Call it prayer. Call it love. Whatever it is, it keeps me going.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>I’m not just fighting legal battles or trying to make ends meet—I’m fighting to keep my spirit whole. To stay connected to the truth that I am still a mother, still worthy, still loved by something greater than this pain. I believe healing is possible. I believe reunion is possible. And I believe that, through God’s help and the kindness of others, this season of loss will one day give way to restoration.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>This is my wilderness season, but I know it won’t be here forever.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>I’m starting this GoFundMe to ask for help getting back on my feet. Funds raised will go toward:


</div>


<div>•	Legal fees and support in my effort to reunite with my daughters


</div>


<div>•	Housing and essential living costs


</div>


<div>•	Therapy and mental health support


</div>


<div>•	Help with the job search and regaining financial stability


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>It’s hard for me to ask for help, but I know I can’t do this alone. If you’re able to give, any amount truly helps. If you can’t donate right now, please consider sharing my story.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this and for standing with me during the hardest season of my life. I haven’t given up—and I won’t—because my girls deserve to see their mom whole, healing, and fighting for them.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>With gratitude,


</div>


<div>Christina
