Hello, friends! My name is Kristi and I am fundraising on behalf of a dear friend of mine, Julia, who has been navigating a challenging and financially overwhelming custody dispute involving her youngest daughter.

In 6 days, the legal support Julia has fought for could be gone, leaving this single mother to face a life-changing custody case without representation.

Julia has spent 4 years advocating for her child in the family court system. Now, with her October custody trial finally in sight, she has just six days to raise enough to cover the legal fees her attorney needs to continue representation through trial.

And while she is trying to hold everything together in the fight for her child, Julia is also facing heartbreaking news that her father was diagnosed with cancer, and the surgery to remove it was unsuccessful. The cancer has spread, and Julia is trying to process the reality that time with him is precious. After years of legal expenses, even the cost of travel has become out of reach.

HOW YOUR SUPPORT WILL HELP

• Every donation will go directly toward Julia’s urgent legal fees so she can keep legal representation for the upcoming custody trial

• If possible, additional support will help Julia visit her father.

If you are able to give, no amount is too small. If you cannot donate, please share this page as widely as you can.

Time is short, and your support will help Julia keep her legal representation, continue advocating for her child, and hopefully spend precious time with her father.

Thank you for standing with Julia in this critical moment.
