Help a Devoted Father Reunite With His Son
My name is Dan and I’m a single father to a bright, loving, and big-hearted 8 little boy. For over 5 years, I’ve been in an ongoing custody battle to stay present and active in his life. Today, I’m humbly asking for your support to help me continue this fight.
I’ve set up this fundraiser to raise money toward legal fees and to keep my attorney retained who can advocate for my parental rights. Between the costs of everyday living and life’s obligations, there’s little left to fund the legal battle I’ve been facing—one that no parent should have to fight just to be with their child.
A little bit about my son: he’s curious about everything life has to offer. He’s rambunctious in the best way, with a huge heart and a gentle soul. Some of our best memories together were spent learning, laughing, and playing with his favorite Nerf guns. He is, without question, daddy’s little shadow—my Tagalog, as I call him.
But over 2 years ago, everything changed.
His mother vanished—changing her phone number and location, Lennox's school and deleting the court-ordered communication app we were supposed to use to coordinate parenting. Since then, I have not seen my son. It has left an enormous hole in my heart and soul.
Our son has already endured more than any child should. My ex-wife and I also had a daughter who tragically passed away at the age of four—just one week before our son was born. That kind of trauma has affected us all, and it makes it even more vital that our son has both parents actively supporting him in a healthy, stable way. I worry every day about his emotional well-being, and I know that having his father in his life matters now more than ever.
I miss my son every day. Every hour. Every moment. I will never stop fighting to be with him—but I need help. Your donation will go directly toward legal representation to advocate for fair custody and the chance to be a father again.
If you’re able to give—anything helps—I would be deeply grateful. If you're not able to donate, please consider sharing this with others. Your support, in any form, means the world.
Donations can also be made directly to my attorney:
