Help Elijah Fix His Truck for His Daughters

Hey everyone

I am Elijah Wykes aka girldad_in_the_mitten. I absolutely didn’t want to did this. In fact I just killed my truck trying to make a way so I didn’t have to have a go fund me. But now my truck has died and needs between $7500 or more to fix it. I’m currently stuck in Milwaukee, WI and hoping for some help to get this fixed and go home.

I figured if I was already making one of these for help I’ll just include the trailer build. I really need like $25000 but I’d be so thankful if we could fix my truck. I hate asking for help, I hate how little it makes me feel. But I’m in it. And I need help.

I waited my whole life to have children. I’m almost 37 years old and my oldest child is five years old. So that tells you that I was very picky and very cautious. So that also should tell you just how clever and manipulative she really was.

When my ex-wife told me that she was no longer in love with me, I knew with my little income that I was going to not be able to provide a very good life for my daughters.

I could tell you that she told me to be a stay at home dad and that she would never do anything to screw me over.

I could tell you that I still worked my landscaping job and was a stay at home dad.

I could tell you that I didn’t know what love bombing was or narcissism. I could tell you that she followed me all the way out to Colorado and told me that she was my soulmate and that I believed everything that she told me. I could also tell you that I’m her third baby daddy and husband.

And yet, despite how great of a father, I am because I am a man and she is a woman in Michigan as a mother state I do not have the same amount of rights.

I worked three jobs for multiple years and saved up and when our divorce was finalized and I spent all my money on trailers and equipment, she lied about our custody agreement and instead of the 50-50 that was promised it was 60/40 because I live an hour and 20 minutes from my children. All the money that I could’ve used for an attorney was spent on equipment so that I could start making money with barbecue.

we were married and still sleeping together, so I was telling her everything because she was also telling me that it was safe and that we were gonna have a peaceful divorce and watch our children grow up together.

The moment she found out that I had saved all this money and had all this equipment so that I could be there for my children she got an attorney and destroyed me in court after telling me that we didn’t need attorneys or to involve friend of the court.

Am I an idiot? Yes lol. I have to be to have put someone so horrible in my life.

really it’s just a reflection of how I didn’t love myself enough.

I kept my job close to my children and so I drive three hours a day every day for work so I can maintain the custody that I have currently.

I have almost put 100,000 miles on my truck in the last three years.

just trying to make sure that my children had me in their lives through this whole mess.

The trailers weren’t finished, but I was out of time and as any good parent would do regardless of whether or not it was legal I just did it. The health department caught me and shut me down and told me I could no longer continue until the trailers were finished.

So instead of being able to continue to invest in this business so that I can move closer to my children. I now pay someone $1000 a month who makes crazy amounts of money well over six figures.

It was a tactful move to alienate me from my children. She has done this to all three of her baby daddies, and I was stupid enough to believe that she wouldn’t do it to me.

I did not fight for spousal support and she makes four times the amount of money that I make. I did not fight for the house because that’s where my children were born and I’ve been growing up and I was not going to disrupt that lifestyle for them. I did everything I could as a man I worked multiple jobs saved and slept in my truck. And now have driven across the country in hopes that I could find ways to make money for my trailer without asking for donations. I don’t know what else to do and so I’m putting myself at the mercy of your heart. So if if you could find it in your heart to help me either fix my truck and/or finish building these trailers so that a good father could be in his daughter’s lives. I would be forever grateful.

Everything helps everything matters.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and support me and my children.

God bless!
