It takes a village to raise a child (Maverick)

Donation protected
Hello everyone, my name is Jep. A little about myself:

       I am a single father to a wonderful one-year-old son, Maverick.  As a public-school teacher in an urban school district, I have dedicated my days to create a better world for all of us, starting at the roots.  Now, as a father, it is my greatest desire to make sure that Maverick is able to stay healthy, safe, and grow into a well-adjusted contributing member of the world community.  This has been an uphill fight since before his birth.

     Over the course of Maverick's 1 year on earth, I have endured a legal tornado having massive amount in legal fees.  Enjoying every minute I have with my beautiful son is rewarding, but I continue to weather court conflicts with Maverick's mother and DCF.  There have been many unsubstantiated and fabricated lies put forth against me for which I need to defend against these accusations in court.  These court filing and attorney fees I pay to defend against these falsehoods have put incredible strain emotionally and financially upon my back.  I am happy to burden these weights, for the benefit of my son Maverick, but I need help.

      I need help to prevent any damage that losing custody of Maverick might present to him.  He is currently in a safe, loving, and stable home with a caring strong role model, me, his father.  To rip him from the only home he has known would have long-term consequences.  I need help to prevent Maverick's mother from gaining custody of him; I needed to put her out of my home due to actions that were detrimental to his care; this breaks my heart, but for his benefit, it needed to be done.  I need help to prevent any further damage to my ability to make a stable home environment: as a 35-year-old teacher, I have already liquidated my savings, retirement, and am at the tipping point on my home equity loan.

      I am out of options.  My life's goal is to provide the best possible life for my son.  I need help in order to continue to meet that goal.  It is in that goal that I need your help to keep Maverick safe and healthy; both physically and emotionally.
