My name is Preston Lewis, and I am fighting the hardest battle of my life along side Holly Ratliff (the mother of Levi): the fight to bring our youngest son, Levi, home. Levi is almost two years old. Recently, while our family was going through a period of extreme struggle, we reached out to family members we thought we could trust. We believed we were giving Levi a chance at a better life while we got back on our feet. Instead, that trust was shattered. We have been cut off from our son. Lies were told to the authorities to keep him from us, and because of a technicality on his birth certificate, the police were unable to intervene. Most heartbreaking of all, we have recently seen evidence that Levi is not being cared for as we were promised. Instead, he is being neglected and has sustained injuries that no toddler should ever endure.

In the state of Arkansas, fighting a custody battle and establishing legal rights is a complex and expensive process. We have consulted with legal experts and need to raise funds to secure a dedicated family law attorney who can help us correct Levi's birth certificate, file for emergency custody, and fight the false claims that were used to separate our family. We have spent the last 24 hours in a state of shock and heartbreak, but we know that to save our son, we have to act with wisdom and through the proper legal channels. We are working every day to build the life Levi deserves, but we cannot win this legal battle alone.

As a side note, in Arkansas, family law attorneys often charge high hourly rates and require a substantial retainer for contested custody cases. The costs can add up quickly, making it difficult for families to fight for their rights without support.

If you have ever said, "Let me know if you need anything," this is what we need. We need the funds to give Levi a voice in court. Please donate if you can, and if you can’t, please share this link and keep Levi Grayson Lewis in your prayers. God bless you for helping us bring our baby home.
