I am a mother fighting to rebuild a safe and stable life after a year of devastation I never could have imagined. I left an environment filled with fear, coercion, and instability, and in the aftermath I lost nearly everything — my income, my animals, my credit, and even the basic security of knowing my children were safe.

My home was violated, my belongings taken, and my children were exposed to situations no child should ever be near. My animals — who were part of our family and also part of my livelihood — were removed from my property this last month and left out of state for weeks. I am still trying to recover them. The emotional and financial damage has been overwhelming.

I have been trying to hold everything together alone while navigating a complex legal process, protecting my daughter’s stability, and fighting to bring my son back from circumstances and drugs no child should ever be pulled into.

Every day has been a battle to keep our home intact, to stay steady for my daughter, and to recover what was taken from us. Legal fees have become crushing, and I am asking for help so I can continue protecting my children, recovering what was lost, and rebuilding the safe life they deserve.

The dogs that were taken were not only family — they were also my business and certified animals. Their disappearance was documented by neighbors, police, and reports when my home was robbed while I was picking up my daughter. I have been left without answers, without resources, and without a clear path to get them back while also trying to protect myself from unsafe environments.

Thank you for standing with us during the hardest chapter of our lives.
