Hello, I'm Stephen.

I'm reaching out during a difficult time in my life. A little over a year ago, I made the decision to move across the country to be close to my children. They moved here a year prior to my arrival. I have now lived one street away from them. Since I have been here, things have not been the same as far as custody and being able to be with my kids.

Unfortunately, I will have to go against this battle legally (once again) but this time I will need to have representation. Having the funds to do so has been a challenge, which of course is the reason I am reaching out. Selling my house is something that I am most likely going to do as well. I obviously want to be as close to my children as possible, but it has not been a positive experience. Moving somewhere else in the same city is something I plan to do.

After serving in the Army for 7.5 years, I got out of the service in 2018. I was hoping this would add more stability in my children's lives, but now this has changed dramatically.

Facing this challenge has not been easy, but I know it will eventually get better.

If you choose to donate or even share this, your generosity is much appreciated.

Thank you

-Stephen
