Hi, my name is Jackie. I’m a hardworking mom doing everything I can to rebuild stability and consistency for my daughter. Recently, the court ordered me to complete hair-follicle testing as part of my custody case. I’m fully sober and compliant, but the financial burden of these tests is overwhelming.

As a single mom managing rent, bills, transportation, and legal costs, I simply can’t keep up with the added expense on my own. But completing these tests is the only barrier between me and fully normal, unsupervised parenting time with my little girl.

I’m doing the work. I’m showing up. I’m stable, and I’ve dedicated myself to giving my daughter the safest and healthiest version of me. All I’m missing is the financial ability to keep up with this testing that I must complete before the court will allow my parenting time to move forward.

I’m asking for help—not because I’m unwilling, but because I’m exhausted trying to do this by myself. Every dollar goes directly toward the cost associated with my hair-follicle tests so I can finally put this part of the process behind me and give my daughter the life and access to her mom that she deserves.

If you can donate or share it would mean more than you know.

Thank you for believing in second chances, for supporting moms who are working hard to do the right thing, and for helping me take the next step toward a healthy, normal future with my child.

— Jackie
