Save Princess Juliana

Hello, Everyone. My name is Luke and as a lot of you know, nearly two years ago God blessed me with the most extraordinary and life changing gift: my daughter Juliana(Princess Na Na). If you're fortunate enough to have met this lil Sprite, you know firsthand just how utterly sweet and bright she truly is. A daddy's-girl, thru and thru. However, what most if not all of you are unaware of is the painful and costly divorce I've been steeped in now for the past 9 months. While the entire process thus far has been adequately civil, Na Na's mom continues to insist on full custody, something that she's given on default thanks solely to the wretched policies in place in Minnesota that don't give a single consideration to the father when establishing custody. And while I'm grateful that she is a tremendously loving mother, she seeks full custody for the expressed purpose of moving back to her hometown of Chernivtsi, Ukraine with my daughter upon the completion of the divorce. Consequently, I retained the legal services of a supremely capable and knowledgeable young woman from the law firm of Cordell & Cordell, a firm that specializes in men's rights. And while she has been hyper effective, her representation comes at a very, very steep price. Since November of last year, between court fees and paying her steep hourly rate(over $400/hr), I've spent nearly $20,000 of my own money on this fight. However, my coffers have since run dry and I'm on the brink of having to split with my attorney, a move that all but guarantees I will lose custody. And if that happens, my lil Sprite will be gone from my life forever and there will be no recourse for me. So I ask you today to open your hearts and contribute whatever you're able. Every cent donated will go directly to pay Juliana's legal fees. I wish it didn't have to come to this, Folks, as this as this fight is mine and mine alone. But it turns out, I simply can't do it alone anymore. My gratitude for your generosity here cannot be put into words as you would be backing me in the fight of my life. A fight where losing is not an option for me. Winning this case would mean that Juliana gets to be raised equally by both me and her mother and, most importantly, Na Na would get to stay in my life and all of you would get to watch her grow and blossom with me. Lastly, I would just like to add that, as a person of faith(Orthodox Christian), I firmly believe that God does not place any obstacles or challenges in our life that He doesn't think we can handle. Well, this is me handling it. May God bless each and every one of you and I thank you from the absolute bottom of my heart.
