Help support my family during this difficult time

Donation protected
I am a stay-at-home mother facing one of the most difficult times of my life. As I go through a challenging divorce, my children and I are at risk of losing our home, transportation, and access to the resources we need to get by each day. My youngest, Jaxton, is suffering from an immense amount of stress and separation anxiety. He has endured traumatic transitions at school, in front of teachers and peers, while his father shouted that I was going to jail simply for providing an overnight bag. Witnessing his distress and fear breaks my heart, and I am desperate to protect him from further harm. My ex-husband is using his financial advantage and the court system to try to revoke my parental rights, putting my relationship with my 9-year-old son in jeopardy.

Despite reaching out to 17 local law firms and state referral services, I have not been able to secure a court-appointed attorney or pro bono help in our county. The legal system feels overwhelming, and I am doing everything I can to protect my children and keep our family together. These funds will go directly toward legal fees to secure representation for Jaxton and the best interests of my children. They will also help us cover our monthly bills, transportation, and living essentials so we can stay afloat during this critical time.

Please, I need your help. I do not want to lose my child to a violent and narcissistic father. Your support means the world to us. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to stability and gives us hope that we can defend ourselves in court and build a better future. Thank you for standing with us and helping my children and me through this incredibly challenging chapter.
