<div>I’m creating this fundraiser on behalf of my sister, Natalie, who is currently navigating an incredibly difficult and emotionally exhausting custody situation. She’s doing everything she can to keep her daughters safe, supported, and surrounded by love—but the legal fees are overwhelming, and she needs help to keep fighting for what’s best for her kids.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This has been an ongoing situation that has finally reached a head in recent months. Police have been involved multiple times and she needs legal assistance to set boundaries and expectations. The very lax original divorce and custody agreement that Natalie naively signed due to emotional manipulation has not been upheld. This agreement, which Natalie was not permitted to see prior to signing, took place during a tumultuous time in her life, after the birth of their third daughter. Natalie’s then husband was not even present for the birth and claimed he would refuse to claim her as his. Natalie has been a stay at home mom since the kids were born (14 years now) and has been substitute teaching to survive financially. She is currently back in school to become an elementary school teacher and cannot afford the overwhelming costs of a family lawyer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Family law cases are expensive, especially when the situation is complex and ongoing. Your support—whether through a donation or simply by sharing—means the world. It helps Natalie access the legal representation she needs to protect her girls and give them the stability they deserve.

<div>Where Your Support Goes
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re breaking this fundraiser into phases to be transparent and focused:
</div>
<div>    •    Phase 1 – $7,000: Retainer and initial legal filings
</div>
<div>    •    Phase 2 – $5,000: Ongoing representation and court preparation
</div>
<div>    •    Phase 3 – $5,000+: Additional legal support if the case becomes extended or more complex
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar goes directly toward legal costs that will help secure a safer future for Natalie and her daughters. Thank you for standing with her.

<div>A Note from Natalie
</div>
<div>I don’t have the words to express how much this support means to me. It’s been such a hard road, and knowing that people care enough to help—whether financially or just by showing up—is a reminder that we’re not alone in this. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me keep fighting for my girls.
