Help Me Bring My Siblings Home

Hi, my name is Nicole, and I'm trying to raise money to gain custody of my younger siblings.

This is the hardest thing l've ever had to write. I never imagined I'd be in a position like this - asking for help from strangers - but right now, l'm fighting for my family, and I can't do it alone.

My siblings were placed with relatives and foster carers after a difficult and heartbreaking series of events in our family.

They're currently with people they barely know, in homes that don't feel like home - without the closeness, love, or stability they deserve. Every time I see them, they ask me the same question:

"When can we come live with you?" And I have to look them in the eyes, holding back tears, with no answer I can give yet.

These are kids who've already been through so much in their short lives. They've lost the comfort of their home, the daily love of their big sister, and the only sense of normal they ever knew. And it breaks my heart knowing they go to bed in unfamiliar rooms, wondering why they can't be with the one person who truly knows and loves them.

One of my siblings is currently sleeping on a couch.

That's where they lay their head every night

- not in a bed, not in a space of their own, but on a couch in someone else's house.

That's not what a childhood should look like.

And now, they're expecting two more of my siblings to be sent to that same home.

If one child is already on the couch... where will the others go?

This isn't just a comfort issue — this is about basic dignity, safety, and mental health.

I want to bring them home.

Back to a place filled with love, laughter, and warmth.

But the legal system doesn't make that easy.

I've been told my best chance to win custody is by hiring a private lawyer who can fully represent our case. I love these kids more than anything in the world - but legal fees, housing, and the cost of preparing a stable home for multiple children is more than I can cover on my own.

That's why l'm here — to humbly ask for your help.

The money raised will go directly toward:

• Hiring a private family lawyer to fight for custody

• Creating a safe, warm home for the kids - beds, clothes, school supplies, and everything they need to feel secure

• Covering school-related expenses so their education isn't disrupted

• Providing counseling and support to help them begin to heal and feel whole again

I'm not asking for a handout — I'm asking for a chance. A chance to give my siblings the life they deserve. A life where they're not passed around or sleeping on couches, but growing up in a loving home with someone who will fight for them every single day.

If you can donate, even just a few dollars,thank you. If you can't, please consider sharing our story. Every share could bring us one step closer to home.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, for caring, and for standing with us.

With love and hope,

Nicole
