After leaving an unsafe home, I faced daily harassment and intimidation from my ex-partner. He sent me threatening messages from different numbers, posted my information online under false ads, and even used my Social Security number to disrupt my ability to buy food for my children. When I tried to report his actions, he retaliated by threatening me with legal charges and his lawyer constantly pressured me for attorney fees. In court, I have been bullied and called names, making it difficult to stand up for myself and my children.

My three children deserve a stable, loving environment where their needs are met and they feel safe. Since leaving, I have worked hard to provide them with health and dental insurance, and to create a home where they can thrive. However, my ex-partner continues to try to control and limit their time with me, and I am fighting for a fair custody arrangement. I want him to have 50-50 custody, but I know that without legal support, I may not be able to protect my rights or ensure my children’s well-being.

Having a lawyer will help me navigate the court system, stand up to intimidation, and fight for my children to be in a more stable environment. I have never been to trial before, and I need someone who knows how to advocate for me and my family. Your support—whether through donations or prayers—means the world to me. I am starting from the ground up, and my greatest goal is to be a mother to my children every day. If you’re able to donate, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making a difference in our lives.
