Help Patrick Through Divorce & Custody

Donation protected
Hello Everyone,

My name is Patrick Pilkington.  I am going through a divorce and I have been removed from my home where I was the father of my two beautiful children.  My son is 7 and my daughter is 2.  I love my children more than anything and currently the restraining order prevents me from even being allowed to visit.  I have no issues with my wife but, we do have irreconcilable differences that prompted me to seek a divorce.  My wife has exploited access to my medical records and my therapy records that she used to cite cause for the conditions granting the restraining order.  I have had mental health struggles and suicide has struck in my family with my father and my uncle so, the exploitative move has been effective along with the family history.  I  am not suicidal and have no intentions of any self harm nor am I showing signs of any instability.  I have a good job.  I was removed from all the family banking and have no access to the resources of our home including my clothes.  I'm living in my truck and showering at the gym. I need money to contest the divorce and win hopefully joint custody or at the very least I need to secure visitation rights.  I'm asking for your contribution so that I can get a place, get clothes, and get onto my feet so that I can return to being the dad I want to be for them.  I need a lawyer badly.  My wife has a very good one and I need $5,000 for a retainer fee.  The cost is likely to be higher than that retainer due to the embittered nature of my wife who refuses all appeals for civility and compromise.  I'm in for the fight of my life here and I adore my children and they love their dad.  Please help.
