This is a private "mercy" fund connected to the two trips made to Maine and filing for guardianship. Maine does not have electronic filing and since there are two children/two parents involved and court protocols, the costs of copywork/overnight fees of affidavits and proper service of summons, etc has been significant.

I have totaled the costs so far as:

Subtotal—food/lodging/gas $1,275.08

Subtotal—copies/postal/software, etc $2,007.40

Total to date 8-8/25 to 8/27/25 $3,282.48

less gift toward trip -1000

less gift from friend toward trip -1000

less gift from friend toward trip -50

less gift from friend toward trip -75

-200

Impact of costs that came from business funds/social security, to date $957.48

I have dipped into my 2nd social security check (started in July at age 62) which really was earmarked for bills. Asking for MERCY and material provision here from those standing with me in this matter, even if you don't know the full details, or are unsure the wisdom/process of it all.

I have done what I believe the situation warrants and have prayerfully considered many things. I must return yet again to Maine for a September 9 continuance.

I need to pay bills and am asking here for any gift of mercy toward the $957.48 that was spent ABOVE some already generous gifts given to help me in this matter. I am treading water, and want to plug up the holes. (My social security is $873 a month, and am hoping that and other things will start moving me forward from the prolonged difficulties following my 2019 divorce).

Arlo and Zola's lives matter. I don't consider the situation normal or stable. It is also consuming much time to prepare which detracts temporarily from my current workload efficiently produced.

Your PRAYERS are greatly appreciated. I am uncertain the ultimate outcome, but the necessity of attempting to respond to information given me over a period of time is what I believe was needed.

Thank you for your generosity, even $10 helps offset.

Eileen
