My name is Shana, and I am the proud mom of a sweet five-year-old boy who has been my entire world since the day he was born. I’ve raised him on my own, with no financial or emotional support from anyone else. Every meal, every bedtime story, every scraped knee and belly laugh—we’ve faced it all together, just the two of us.

Recently, our lives were turned upside down in a way I never could have imagined. I am now facing a sudden and devastating custody battle that came completely out of the blue. My little boy has been wrongfully displaced from my care through temporary court orders based on false accusations. He is scared, confused, and has never been apart from me before. The pain of being separated from him is unbearable—for both of us.

At our first hearing, I went in alone, trusting that the truth would be enough. I couldn’t believe anyone, let alone a judge, would give weight to such lies about me. Unfortunately, my opponent came with a lawyer, and I did not. Without representation, my voice wasn’t heard, and the outcome left my son and I in an unimaginable situation.

Now, I only have one week to secure an attorney before the next hearing. The retainer fee is more than I can handle on my own, but with proper representation, I truly believe we can bring my son back home where he belongs. This is not just about me—it’s about protecting my son’s wellbeing, stability, and the life we’ve built together.

I am humbly asking for help from friends, family, and even kind-hearted strangers who believe in justice, truth, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child. Every dollar raised will go directly to legal fees to ensure I have the right attorney to stand beside me and fight for my son’s best interests.

We are believing for a miracle—that this community will come together and help us through this heartbreaking and urgent fight. Your support means more than words could ever express. Whether you are able to donate, share this campaign, or keep us in your prayers, please know that you are making a difference in our journey to bring my son home.

From the bottom of my heart—thank you.

Shana
