Help Hannah and her girls

I’m organizing this Go Fund Me for my youngest daughter Hannah Lacy Hall. Hannah is a brave warrior in desperate need of your help.

After enduring years of physical, mental and emotional abuse at the hands of her now ex-husband, she finally escaped with my 2 beautiful granddaughters. Little did we know that was simply the beginning of the fight for their lives.

Hannah is drowning in legal fees and now is in real danger of being dropped by her attorney because of the large balance on her account. Hannah works 10 hour night shifts at the hospital so she can be with her girls during the day. All the while her abusive ex does not even pay the small amount of child support ordered by the courts. Her family has helped to their maximum. Her ex-husband continues to get around the law in every way imaginable.

I am attaching a letter Hannah wrote to the courts, I know it’s long but I’m begging you to read it anyway and for one brief moment feel the pain and fear she has and continues to endure on a daily basis. I also know money is tight and we are all doing our very best to stay afloat….please understand she is in desperate need and every dollar will help.

If any of you know me, you know I am a proud independent woman and would not consider asking for help if it weren’t absolutely dire. I’m fighting for my daughter and my 2 beautiful granddaughters against a manipulative monster bent on destroying them all.
We are so grateful for any help during this time, the goal amount is the amount it’ll cost with the bill owed and any further litigation with court and mediation.

LETTER FROM HANNAH TO THE COURT:

“Thank you for the opportunity to speak.
I was with Kaiden Green for 7 years, we started dating when I was 16 and shortly afterwards we had our first child. I was young and inexperienced to be sure and being a product of divorce myself, I was determined to keep my family together. Not only did I endure the usual trials of a 17 year old mom I endured physical, mental, emotional and financial abuse for the entire time we were together. Kaiden has broken my nose at least 3 times, I‘ve had bruises and black eyes too many times to count. I’ve been choked a number of times to the point of passing out. He abused me physically and emotionally in front of our daughter on a regular basis. While pregnant with our second child he accused me of cheating and claimed it was not his baby, he tried to kill the baby while I was pregnant by hitting and kicking me in the stomach. He was disgusted when he found out our second pregnancy was another daughter and demanded a paternity test right then at the ultra sound appointment to prove it wasn’t his—he said I was never going to give him a son.  He has threatened to kill me and went so far as to drive me to a remote area and point to the place he planned to bury me telling me my family would never find me and nobody would ever miss me.

In the beginning he would cry and beg me to forgive him, he would promise to never do it again but eventually even that effort stopped and he simply blamed me for his bad mood and lack of self-control. I stayed because I thought I could fix him, I stayed because I thought I was supposed to and I thought I loved him. Finally, I stayed because he convinced me I was worthless and he was the best I could ever do.

When he was arrested for domestic abuse I sold all of my personal belongings to get him an attorney that could help get him into mental health court hoping he would accept help, hoping maybe we could get past this and raise our children together without abuse and violence defining him for the rest of his life. But Kaiden found a way to skirt the issues, he didn’t attend or take counseling seriously and refused to take the court ordered medication. And the abuse continued.

Leaving the marriage has taken every ounce of courage and strength I possess. It has been the single most terrifying thing I have ever even considered doing. I have followed all the rules, I have done everything the courts have told me to do. When it was clear he wasn’t going to leave us alone, I filed a protective order so at least our home could be a safe place for the girls and I. But the verbal and emotional abuse continued. The stalking and intimidation continued. He has tried to convince me to remove the restraining order, he has followed me in my car and tried to get me to pull over.  He shows up at our daughter’s school. He taunts me and goads me then video records my response hoping to get me to react so he can say I’m out of control and an unfit mother. In clear violation of the protective order he has called me from unknown numbers harassing me, he has broken the protective order a number of times by sneaking around my house and peering in my windows—I have captured this behavior on my security cameras and reported it to the police. He called me 2 weeks ago and told me if I didn’t come have sex with him at a hotel he was going to kill himself. He told me he has formed an LLC showing he only makes $10 an hour so he will no longer have to pay child support. He told me last week we was not going to pay any support unless I met him in one hour and signed a paper changing the parental agreement and dropping spousal support.  He violates the child protective act regularly by telling our oldest daughter she will be coming to live with him soon and only have to visit her mommy if she wants to. He manipulates her emotions by crying in front of her telling her he still loves me and it’s my fault we aren’t a family anymore. This is cruel and heartbreaking. What kind of man uses his young daughter for his own ego?

He has not paid support and refuses to tell me where he works so O.R services can’t collect directly from his employer.

My point is, I have done everything the law allows me to do but I am still being harassed and threatened. I do not feel safe, ever. My last thoughts at night and my first thoughts in the morning are whether this will be the day he harms me or my children. When will he be held accountable for his behavior? When will he have to face real consequences?

Simply by going public with these statements and revealing the truth, I have put myself in grave danger. He will not take this lightly but I refuse to be silenced anymore. I deserve to feel safe, I deserve to live a life of my choosing free of fear from Kaiden Green’s anger and retaliation. I am not worthless and neither are my daughters. “
