Help Me Protect My Daughters – Support My Custody Legal Fund

Hi, my name is Nicole. I’m a mother, veteran, small business owner, and full-time student working toward becoming a nurse. I’ve dedicated my life to helping others—whether through my service in the military, my work in real estate and beauty, or through animal rescue and community advocacy. Most importantly, I’m a hands-on, devoted mom to two amazing little girls who mean the absolute world to me.

Right now, I’m in the middle of two extremely difficult custody battles that are threatening my ability to continue being the full-time parent they know and need. I’m raising funds to cover urgent legal fees in two separate family court cases—each involving the fathers of my children. Although they are not connected to one another personally, they have both knowingly hired the same attorney, and it feels that I’m being strategically overwhelmed.

I want to be honest—asking for help is extremely hard for me. I’ve been hyper-independent for most of my adult life. I’ve carried a lot on my own shoulders and rarely ask for anything. But I’ve come to a point where I can’t do this alone. This isn’t about pride—it’s about survival. I am reaching out because my children’s stability and well-being are on the line, and I need support to keep protecting them.

I’ve always been the primary caregiver for both of my girls. I’m the one who takes them to their appointments, homeschools them, comforts them when they’re sick, and provides the day-to-day care that makes a house a home.

This isn’t just about court—it’s about survival. I am trying to protect my children’s stability while being pulled in every direction by legal demands, deadlines, and emotional stress. The goal of these efforts seems clear: to wear me down until I give up. But I won’t. I can’t. My daughters need me to stay strong—and I need help to keep going.

Legal fees are mounting fast. I’ve already spent thousands of dollars just trying to defend myself and keep my children’s lives consistent and secure. Every donation to this fundraiser will go directly toward legal representation, court fees, and any necessary evaluations or documentation required to protect my parental rights and safeguard my children’s well-being.

If you’ve ever been through a custody battle, you know how exhausting and isolating it can be. If you’re a parent, you know the lengths you’d go to for your children. I’m humbly asking for your support—whether financial, emotional, or spiritual. Every dollar, share, or prayer helps me stand strong for my girls and continue being their safe place.

Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for helping me protect them.

With love and gratitude,

Nicole
