Secure a Safe Future for Samantha and Her Son

Hi, my name is Samantha Bryant. I am a single mom, and not by choice. My son's dad had to go to prison for sixteen years for hurting me while I was pregnant. After he left for prison, I couldn't stay with his family anymore, and then Dad's mom punched me in the back of the head while I was holding my son in my arms. So, I decided to run away from Colorado altogether, and I moved to Texas to try and start a fresh life for me and my son. My baby boy is twenty months old. I have a full-time job, and I pay for full-time daycare, and I don't get any help from the government. I pay for literally everything on my own. I'm scared of making ends meet sometimes, but my super mom and I make things happen somehow, someway.

I'm asking for five hundred and fifty dollars because my son's dad's parents are trying to get some kind of custody or anything with my son. Me and my son actually have a protection order against the grandma that is filing to try and get any kind of custody or anything like that. I have talked to a lawyer that will help me tremendously, and this law firm actually pays for a lot of the majority of the cost, which I'm grateful for since I wouldn't be able to afford anything. I can't file anything because I don't know the law. I don't know anything, and I'm kinda scared. I'm not gonna lie. I hate not knowing the law, but when it comes to my son, I will do everything I can perfectly. This lawyer is only charging five hundred and fifty dollars flat rate for everything, and he will take care of everything for me. I know it's only five hundred and fifty dollars, but I barely have anything to spare because I'm paying for everything for me and my son, and my son comes first. I want to make sure he has a roof over his head, diapers, food, daycare, everything. So, it's really hard for me because I live paycheck to paycheck.

Anyways, I just hope maybe some people can listen to my story. I know you don't know all of it, but I just hope that you guys can maybe help a little bit, and then I can try to find the rest. I pray every day that I just find peace and I can live in peace. I truly believe this is the road to my peace, but money gets in the way.

So, if there's anybody out there at all that understands my pain or my struggle or anything like that, I would appreciate anything. I don't need one person to send $550. I just need something because something goes so far. I would be so grateful. Thank you guys for taking the time to listen to my story.
