Hi, my name is Laurie, I have 2 beautiful kids. I wouldn't normally ask for help, but I am at the end and don't know what to do. I was a stay at home mom enduring narcissistic abuse for 8 years. I finally found the courage to leave him with 3 garbage bags of clothes and 2 car seats. I have been living a nightmare for the past year and a half fighting for our safety. He has made disgusting false allegations to the police and child protective services to try and take my children from me. I have spent my entire retirement fund fighting for the safety of my kids and myself. Earlier this month, I was blessed with a Final Restraining Order which my kids are on, and he has lost custody. But now he is appealing the FRO ruling, and I do not have the money to fight him, and if he wins, I am terrified of what will happen to my kids. I need to raise money for a retainer so I can get a lawyer. I know this is asking alot but anything will help.

Thank you in advance for any assistance. I will pay it forward. I already do it whenever I can.
