I have been in the "know" for so long now about what Wilson County has done to my precious friend that I can no longer be quiet. My heart goes out to her and I want to help her as much as I can. She and her daughter have been through the ringer...let me tell you a little bit about her story.

Crista has fought for 35 years to hold her adoptive father, Donald Haynes accountable for raping her until she was 13. He plead guilty August 16, 2021. It was Crista’s idea to show him mercy and allow him to plead to lesser included charges so he could serve his sentence at home instead of going to prison.

The family that abused her has now stolen her daughter from her. Now she is fighting the same system that allowed her adoptive father to walk the streets for 35 years, a confessed child rapist. She is fighting a broken system that is made up of “who has more money.”

Crista is a single mother that lost everything when her daughter was ripped from her arms. She has fought and fought to bring her daughter home since the day she was stolen from her. Spending her money on attorneys that did nothing for her or her daughter except make the terrible circumstances worse.

Now her back is against the wall as the final battle is played out to terminate her parental rights. Just like she was adopted, they are trying to adopt her daughter. The same man that repeatedly raped Crista as a child is also in the presence of her daughter. She is terrified that history will repeat itself.

Crista is a fighter that just won’t give up. Her daughter is everything to her. They say she can’t win, she says watch me. She places her faith in God.

This gofundme account is set up to help her get her daughter back safely to where she belongs, in her mothers arms. She’s fought this on her own but now she needs help.
