My name is Shay, and I am reaching out during the most difficult time of my life. Recently, my daughter’s father made false allegations that resulted in my oldest daughter and me being temporarily removed from our home, and my youngest daughter being taken from me. We have been left with nothing, and my oldest and I are now staying in a hotel, trying to get by day to day. My oldest daughter is a type one diabetic, and my youngest is not even two years old. The pain of being separated from my baby and the fear for both of my girls’ safety is overwhelming. Their father’s actions have left us completely broke, and he has used lies and manipulation to turn the legal system against us.

All of the funds raised will go directly toward legal fees to fight for my daughters and to support my oldest while we are unable to return home. Every dollar will help us get closer to being reunited and ensuring my girls are safe and healthy. I am doing everything I can to bring my youngest home and provide stability for both of my children.

Thank you to anybody that is willing to help in such a horrific time. I never imagined I would be in this position, and it is so hard to ask for help. But I will not give up until I get my daughter back and my family is whole again. Your support means the world to us, and I am deeply grateful for any help you can give.
