Justice for Desiraye & Her Son: Help Finalize Custody
As many of you know I'm Kristen Swanson better known as MonTee's Mama, while the MonTee Movement has been standing beside Desiraye, this will be our first time to participate in crowd funding efforts in MonTee's honor as a part of our first large fundraising campaign in efforts to "MonTee" this family in the most positive, impactful way for her sons success.
The fight for family should never be this hard. Yet Desiraye, a loving mother, has faced not only the emotional and financial toll of a drawn-out custody battle but also a devastating smear campaign that has shaken her stability and prolonged her separation from her child.
An original GoFundMe helped cover many legal costs, but the storm of negativity and misinformation led to a wave of refund requests. To make matters worse, a so-called “advocate” who once promised support began collecting donations in other spaces before abandoning Desiraye and siding with those who continue to exploit this family’s pain.
For far too long, Desiraye has been alienated from her son while the entire world watches Jeremiah Thompson’s wife weaponize the children for selfish, content-driven financial gain. Thanks to the strength of this community, we have successfully removed Desiraye’s son from online exploitation—but the legal process isn’t finished yet.
Now we face the final, most crucial step: securing a permanent custody order. This is the only way to protect Desiraye’s son, stop the cycle of manipulation, and ensure that he has the safe, stable home he deserves.
Why We Need Your Help
To cover the remaining fees and court costs.
To ensure Desiraye’s son is protected from being used as a pawn for internet attention or profit.
To reunite a mother and child and restore peace, stability, and dignity.
Every donation directly supports a successful reunification process and brings us closer to ending this painful chapter once and for all. If you can’t donate, please share this campaign widely. Together, we can drown out the smear campaigns and amplify the truth: a child belongs in a loving home, not on display for exploitation.
Thank you for standing with Desiraye, for believing in her, and for fighting for what’s right.
And thank you for helping The MonTee Movements first crowd funding campaign reign successful ❤️
