Hi, my name is Stephanie Lanier. I never thought I’d be in this position, but here I am—raising my child completely on my own because his father, Robert Slade, has chosen to walk away from his responsibilities.

I’ve been working tirelessly to make sure my child has everything he needs—a safe home, food on the table, clothes on his back, and the love and care every child deserves. But the reality is, doing this alone is incredibly hard. The cost of living keeps climbing, and despite my best efforts, it feels like I’m constantly treading water.

This GoFundMe is my way of reaching out for support. Every donation will go directly toward providing for my child—keeping the lights on, covering childcare, medical expenses and ensuring he doesn’t miss out on opportunities because of his father’s neglect.

His father may have chosen not to step up, but I will never stop fighting for my child. If you can donate or even share this page, you’re helping me give him the security and future he deserves.

Thank you for standing with us.

-Stephanie & Tucker Lanier
