Help this Grammy see her favorite girls more

Anyone who knows me will know it takes a lot for me to even consider asking for help. (I have been told I was stubborn or pig headed more than once..lol) You also know that I will not give up on something I feel is right. I wanted to share some of my truths with you to help you understand why I am asking for help. (I am not going to get into the how's and why's, just the facts).

Over the last 6 months I have spent a total of 18 hours with my grand daughters. And over the same 6 months I have spent (at most) 1.5 hours on video chat with them. That brings the total time I have spent with my grand daughters in the last 6 months to less than 1 full day, and the prior 6 months, I had no contact with them. The only way I was able to see them was by way of family court. I have been unable to celebrate the last 2 Christmases with my grand daughters, or any other holiday including birthdays since December of 2023. Some of those holidays family members lost their chance to see the girls because I was at their house. There were times the girls have been within walking distance and it was stated that if I show up, they will leave. I don't share these things for pity, I share them as they are the facts and my truths. Since I found out that I was going to be a Grammy I was so excited to be the grammy my gram was to me! I do my best with my 3 hours a month to make sure the girls know they are loved, to expose them to things they other wise may have not been afforded. My time with them is the most magical fun filled time and they enjoy their time here. The only thing I would like to change is that I have more time to spend with them, 3 hours is just not enough. Now the hard part is that the ONLY way I am going to change the current situation is with another visit to family court. I spoke with someone who sounds very confidant with taking my case. Road Block... his retainer is over 3500... That is way out of my "doable range" right now. I am in the process of trying to find other ways to get the funds, but everything takes time to get started. I wish I could share pictures of their beautiful smiles, they light up a room. So, there it is... the good, the bad, and the ugly. I am asking for your support, any kind of support is appreciated. (Even sharing ideas for other ways to raise $ would be helpful). So, thank you for taking time to read my truths and appreciate any help you are able to offer.
