Legal Retainer for Stay at Home Dad

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Mike, and about four years ago I walked away from my successful career as an art educator and coach to become a stay at home dad with my wife, who is a physician. As does happen, she made the decision to walk away from the relationship. In the meantime, she has left me without a job, no current teaching license, defamed my name, taken my youngest children, while I’m living in the back of a vehicle in below freezing weather, borrowing money from friends and family for survival, limited access to funds, and in pain from a recent neck injury from my C4 to T1. Through it all, I know that I can survive, but what I am really in need of is funds for my legal defense. With no access to our accounts, I am trying to fight a legal team with a doctors budget, using the Internet and public library. It’s like fighting a forest fire with a squirt gun. In order to get legal services, because many in this area will not take me because of her position, I am in need of a retainer for the legal services. If anybody has a little extra to give, I would much appreciate it, and I know that I will do my best to pay forward every cent when I get back on my feet. Thank you for your time and consideration.
