Stand with Jericho: A Father's Love

Hi, my name is Jericho and I’m a dedicated father fighting to be in my children’s lives. Anyone who knows me knows how deeply I love my kids and how involved I’ve always been. I’ve shared an incredibly close bond with them since the day they were born.

But two years ago, that bond was torn apart. Their mother abruptly took them from me and has since used the legal system as a weapon — not because it’s in their best interest, but because of conflict and control. At every turn, she’s placed new obstacles in my path, using false accusations, endless legal filings, and manipulation of the system to try and wear me down — emotionally, financially, and mentally.

With false claims of drug addiction. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on repeated drug testing just to prove my innocence. I’ve been accused of psychological abuse, and although the court eventually ruled in my favor, it took months of hearings, legal motions, and enormous emotional and financial costs.

To date, I’ve spent over $70,000 fighting for my children. All the while, I’ve continued to pay an exorbitant amount in child support, which has further strained my ability to fund this ongoing legal fight. I have never once tried to walk away from my responsibilities — financial or emotional. I’ve worked side jobs, maxed out credit cards, taken loans, all to keep fighting. I’ve done everything a devoted father could possibly do — but I’ve reached my limit.

With another recent added accusation and yet another court hearing on May 22nd before the final trial that is scheduled for June 10th, I’m left scrambling to make it to both hearings. I’m not asking for help to repay the mountain of debt I’ve already taken on. I’m simply asking for enough to make it to that final courtroom, to present the truth and give my children the chance to grow up with both parents in their lives.

I don’t ask for help easily — and if I had another way to do this on my own, I would. But I’ve run out of options. If you can help me stand up one last time for my kids — whether by donating or sharing this campaign — I will never forget it.

This is not about revenge. This is not about winning.

This is about love. It’s about a father refusing to give up on his children.

Thank you for believing in me and helping me get across the finish line.

With all my heart,

Jericho
