Dusty and her 4-year-old son, Hugo, found themselves unable to return to their home where they cohabitate with her ex (Hugo's father), because the locks had been changed. They urgently need your help to secure legal representation, maintain stable housing, and begin to rebuild their lives. Any amount you can contribute will be instrumental in helping them achieve this.

Dusty and her son Hugo are now facing an incredibly challenging and unstable situation, trying to afford to stay in a hotel while also trying to gather enough money for a legal retainer.

The final incident in which the police were called (by several individuals in the middle of the night to the sound of the ex's yelling and Hugo's crying) resulted in the police advising Dusty to find another place to stay for the night.

When Dusty returned to their home the following day with a police escort to retrieve essential belongings she discovered that all the locks had been changed and she was unable to get anything for herself or Hugo.

Dusty and Hugo’s current living arrangement is unsustainable financially, and emotionally for both of them, especially for the necessary stability required for a child.

Dusty has consulted with a lawyer who advised her that her ex's actions his actions may constitute grounds for legal action and that the lawyer believes there is a strong case to seek reimbursement for hotel and legal fees, but to get started she will need to pay a large retainer fee which she cannot afford along with everything else.

It's important that she act quickly to secure legal representation. Dusty has the right to prepare and provide for herself and Hugo.
