<div>In 30 days, my six-year-old granddaughter will be taken from the only home she has ever truly known.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A judge recently granted her biological father full physical custody. If we cannot successfully appeal this decision, she will be required to move to Arizona. We would be left with one weekend a month.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thirty days.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I can hardly breathe when I think about it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nova has lived with me since she was two years old. She learned to talk clearly in my kitchen. She learned to ride horses here on my farm. She runs barefoot in the grass. She knows which animals are gentle and which ones to stay away from. Every Christmas morning, every birthday, every scraped knee, I have been there.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I live in San Diego, and this farm is not just where she stays. It is her home. Her school is here. Her friends are here. Her daily routine is here. This is where she feels safe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She has never lived with her father.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There are serious documented concerns regarding her emotional well-being in that environment, including police reports and professional documentation from a therapist. Because of this, I am deeply afraid of what such a sudden and permanent change would do to her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nova has told us she does not want to go. She says she would visit if she has to, but she wants to stay home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She is six years old. She still sleeps with a stuffed animal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have already spent over $60,000 in legal fees trying to protect her stability. I drained my savings because that is what you do when a child you love needs you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now I have to retain a new appellate attorney immediately. The estimated cost to file and fight this appeal is $40,000.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I never imagined I would be in this position. I am not someone who asks for help easily. But I am out of options and running out of time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is about a little girl who has grown up surrounded by love, routine, and open sky. It is about keeping her in the place she knows as home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are able to donate, any amount helps and will go directly toward the legal fight to appeal this custody decision. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this page.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am not giving up on her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am asking for help so I can keep fighting.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading and for caring about my granddaughter.
</div>
