Hi my name is whitney and im fundraising to help pay for legal fees and I’m kindly asking for your help.

I never wanted to be in this position where I needed to ask anyone to help me but I’m desperate.

I’m trying to raise some money towards legal fees and court costs to file for a divorce and remove my ex partner from my tenancy.

So here’s a little bit about me.

Im a mum two beautiful children,

I will be honest life hasn’t always been easy, being so young when I had my first child it was a challenge, there was so much stigma around young parents, i wanted to so desperately change this negative image of teen parents that society had and I wanted to prove every single person who doubted me wrong.

I was dealing with childhood trauma and craved that family unit so badly, the image of a two parent household and probably the reason I tried to hold onto something that I new wasn’t good for me, knowing deep in my heart that I was being wronged and disrespected, but I just accepted it because I thought that’s what I needed to do for my children.

I did eventually find my worth, i found who I truly was as a person, I found my confidence and finally my voice.

I realised that everything that i thought was true in my head wasn’t, all they needed was a strong, happy confident mum and that changed my life.

I got a job in a day centre that supports adults with disabilities, it’s the most incredible and rewarding job. To work in a space that is so positive and puts a smile on so many peoples faces it’s just so heart warming.

The last few weeks we had some amazing news, we found our perfect home a home that I’ve always dreamt about for my children, close to so many more opportunities in a job that I care so much about.

but unfortunately we found out that we won’t be able to proceed with this due to my ex partner being named on the tenancy.

As you can imagine this is a massive blow, me and my children are devestated. After some legal advice I’ve been advised to go through a solicitors to submit a form to family court to get my tenancy transferred into my name only but also file for a divorce as this can’t be done without that in place.

As you can imagine This comes at a massive cost, an amount that I could never find, I have no financial support from anyone which is why my last resort is to try and raise some money, this isn’t a decision I’ve taken lightly as I’m very aware that there’s thousands of people in the same position as me.

No amount is too small and even if you’re not able to financially help, a share would mean the world.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my story.

With gratitude

Whitney
