Help my 27-Year-Old Daughter Fight False Charges & Escape Ongoing Abuse

My name is Lori, and I am creating this GoFundMe for my daughter, Autumn, who is in the fight of her life.

My daughter is only 27 years old and is now facing a false harassment charge filed by her estranged father — a man who emotionally abused her throughout childhood. Recently, she began recovering repressed memories of the sexual abuse she endured as a little girl. As painful as it was, she finally found the courage to acknowledge what happened and establish boundaries to protect herself.

Instead of taking accountability, he retaliated.

He is now using the legal system to silence and punish her for telling the truth.

This is all too familiar - he displayed this same type of behavior during our divorce over 16 years ago, forcing me to spend my savings and 401(k) all on legal fees.

What’s Happening

After years of distance, my daughter stood up for herself — and her father responded by filing a harassment charge to intimidate her, discredit her, and put her back under his control.

This has left her:

Emotionally overwhelmed

Terrified of what he might try next

Facing legal expenses that are far beyond her ability to pay, all while caring for her two young children.

As her mother, it is devastating to watch her relive trauma while also being attacked through the courts.

No daughter should have to go through this — especially not at the hands of her own father.

⚖️ Why We Need Help

My daughter urgently needs a strong attorney who can defend her against this false charge and protect her from further legal manipulation. She is doing everything she can to stay brave and tell the truth, but she cannot fight this alone.

Your donations will go directly toward:

Attorney retainer fees

Court costs and required filings

Therapy and trauma support

Your support gives her a chance to stand up to a man who has hurt her for far too long.

Why Your Support Matters

This is not just about clearing her name — it’s about ending a cycle of abuse that has followed her from childhood into adulthood.

By helping her, you are giving her safety, stability, and the ability to finally take her life back.

Every donation, every share, and every kind message makes a meaningful difference.

❤️ Thank You

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser so that others can help my daughter get justice and healing.

Your support gives her hope — and gives me strength as a mother watching her child fight something no one should ever have to face.

With all my heart,

Lori
