Help Kelly Secure Isabella's Future

Help Kelly Fight for Isabella: Legal Battle for Her Daughter’s Future

Hello, my name is Ron, and I’m asking for your help to support Kelly, the loving mother of a brave 9-year-old girl named Isabella, who has endured more than her share of challenges in her young life. Kelly and I have been together for several years, and we have a 15-month-old son together. But today, I’m speaking on behalf of Kelly, who is in the fight of her life to protect her daughter’s well-being and future.

The Backstory:

For over 15 years, Kelly was trapped in an abusive relationship with Isabella’s father, Eric. The abuse was severe, but Kelly stayed in that relationship, putting Isabella’s needs first. After leaving that toxic relationship, Kelly met me—someone who knew Eric’s history and understood the trauma Kelly and Isabella endured. Kelly and I fell in love, but we also knew the importance of keeping Eric in Isabella’s life despite the abuse, because of his legal rights as her father.

Even though Isabella often expressed her fear, saying things like, "I have two dads—one is nice, and the other tried to kill my mom," we knew that keeping Eric involved was essential to avoid claims of parental alienation in court. Unfortunately, this decision has put us in a nightmare legal battle.

The Legal Nightmare:

Eric’s manipulation and control didn’t end with the breakup. Over the years, he has weaponized the legal system against Kelly, drawing out a painful custody battle. Here are some key events:

Surgery Delayed: Isabella needed critical spinal surgery, but Eric delayed the procedure for over a year by demanding multiple second opinions and defying court orders. The surgeon had to threaten a DCFS (Department of Children and Family Services) report just to proceed with the surgery.

False Abuse Allegations: After the surgery, Eric manipulated Isabella into falsely claiming abuse, forcing DCFS to investigate Kelly. This resulted in Isabella staying with Eric for three months, during which she became a different child—afraid, conflicted, and forced to lie to appease her father.

Multiple Legal Tactics: Eric has used every tactic in the book to exhaust us financially and emotionally. From frivolous court appearances to filing false claims, he has stretched this battle out for years. He has gone through four lawyers and is suspected of funding his efforts through illegal activities.

Critical Financial Need: Kelly’s legal representation was forced to withdraw because we couldn’t keep up with the mounting legal fees. Without a new attorney, Kelly risks losing custody of Isabella to a man with a history of DUIs (wrongful death), reckless behavior, and even child endangerment.

The Urgent Need:

We are in a dire situation. In less than 30 days, Kelly needs $5,000 to secure a retainer for new legal representation. Without it, Isabella could end up in an unsafe environment long-term. We’ve already spent over $20,000 in legal fees, gone deep into debt, and sacrificed everything we can. The system is biased and broken, and without the right legal defense, the truth about Eric’s behavior will be overshadowed by his lies and manipulation.

How You Can Help:

We’re humbly asking for your support. Every dollar raised will go directly toward legal fees to ensure Kelly has a fighting chance to protect Isabella. This is about securing her future and keeping her safe from a cycle of manipulation and abuse. Please donate if you can, and share our story with others. Your help can make all the difference in this battle.

With a clear conscience and factual evidence the correct legal representation will prevail.
