Hello everyone, my name is Elise. I am the fiancée of Armando, who is an amazing father to his son. Armando is working as a full-time carpenter and is currently in need of some financial assistance.

His main goal is to take care of his son and his future needs. He is currently going through court for family law, attempting to gain equal parental and custodial rights of his son. We have tried to the best of our abilities to avoid taking this case through trial, however, trial appears to be our only option moving forward. As we expect to face trial, the financial burden has been placed upon Armando, as the other party does not have a lawyer.

We love Armando's son and enjoy spending time with him. Armando has saved for five years, most of his son's life, to save for a lawyer and to better himself to become the best father he can be for his son. We appreciate any and all support we receive, as it helps us focus on spending time together as a family with less worry about money.

Normally, we would not ask for assistance, but we have exhausted almost every resource we have. We are simply asking for help with this situation because we cannot do it alone. I am writing this in the hopes that this will resolve our current stressful situation. Armando is a thoughtful, skillful, patient father with his amazing bright son. He has tried saving up to no fault of his own and is unable to finance the current situation with his occupation as a carpenter. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read this, donate, and share this GoFundMe. I want nothing but the best for both Armando and his son.
