Support a Family's Fight for Togetherness

Donation protected
Hi guys!

I am here in hopes of getting some support for my journey to reunite with my daughter who is being kept away from me against not just my will, but hers as well!

As a mother we want to give our children father(s) an opportunity to have equal time with their offspring, so they are able to create a strong bond and help with character development as it is always desired to have a two-parent household.

Some people are not meant to stay together but that doesn't mean the children should not still be strongly connected to both parties.

As a mother, as a woman, as a former wife; I understand the importance and significance of having an active and present father in my children's lives and I have always believed in being fair and mature when it came to coparenting.

We don't choose life hardships, they just happen and most times, we are not prepared. We don't know when or if a major bad or disruptive situation will come and wreak havoc or hardship on our daily lives.

Recently, I have begun a battle that is just a little too intense for me to fight it alone. My immediate village is small, but at this point of life I need the entire community to help me fight as I attempt to get my daughter back into my home, with her other siblings, and into school so she can start the next phase of her young life.

My daughter is the youngest of 4, and my children and I miss her dearly. Her father has been able to enjoy her presence in his home and life for over 4 months now and as of last Friday, I was advised that she can come home on August 10th. Thank God! 

I stayed for that week taking care of necessary business and hoping he would come around and maybe change his mind about his cruelty towards me and our daughter. I was advised last Friday,  that he had no intent to bring my daughter back home. Thank God for the court systems! 

Imagine the heartbreak and the mental turmoil this has brought upon my young baby, myself, and her siblings. I would never and don't ever plan to keep my daughter away from her father, and I have never done so. Now that it is time for her to come back to me, he was very adamant about not sending her back to me. AT ALL

I now have no choice but to continue to travel back and forth in an attempt to fight for custody of my daughter.

As a single mother of 4, I need HELP.

I need assistance and support to move forward towards getting my daughter back into a place of comfort, love, and support with myself and her siblings.

Ive had to purchase plane tickets back and forth, which obviously took from my rent and bills. I’m on an income where I am surviving from one month to the next.

This year has been one of the hardest, from losing my brother, to someone attempting to make sure I lose my connection and relationship with a child I created and brought into this world.

Please, I ask that if you can, you WILL donate any amount, nothing is too big or too small, because small adds up!

I need to get my daughter home. I deserve to hear her voice, to engage with her, to tell her goodnight and let her know I love her!

Help me fight to make that happen!


What you give will go towards helping with my rent, plane tickets, possibly an attorney, (because he is literally adamant of not giving me my daughter back.) and all things that pertains to the relentless bills that will continue to accumulate during this tedious journey!


Thank you for reading!
