Hello! My name is Talor. I am creating this in order to seek assistance with getting a lawyer to bring my girl home.
In 2018, my son passed away while in the care of a sitter. Shortly after, I fell into dark times. While getting my mental health back on track, Maribel went to live with her dad. As of lately, it has become an unsafe space for her. She is 13 now and isn't allowed to have a relationship with me or her brothers due to her dad not allowing communication. The only time we see her is once a year, for a week, when we go to Oklahoma for a visit.
Recently, she had to escape out of the house after her dad found out she was talking to her family, and he freaked out and threatened to physically harm her. He then punched her TV and ripped it off the wall, slamming it down, scaring Maribel. Maribel made a police report and unfortunately, because it wasn't physical abuse, they won't do anything.
So I am here asking for help to afford a lawyer to bring her to safety. I have been a significant support needs paraprofessional for the last 3 years and have been doing respite for special needs kiddos for the last 4, and unfortunately, that doesn't pay near enough for me to afford an attorney. Any help would be greatly appreciated so Maribel can be back in a safe and loving home.
