My good friend and neighbor is in the middle of a custody case. She is a devoted mother, deeply committed to her son’s happiness and well-being. She is committed to raising him in his Mvskoke culture and knowing his roots. She is also a highly educated, respected, and active member of our community who has always given generously of her time and energy.
No amount is too small. Every donation helps, and even if you can’t contribute financially, sharing this campaign is a powerful way to support her.
She has worked tirelessly to balance her professional life, her role as a mother, and the demands of this case, but the legal costs continue to mount.
Why This Matters:
At its core, this case is about ensuring a little boy can grow up in a stable, loving environment where his needs and tribal culture come first. It is also about standing with a mother who has poured so much into her family and her community, and who now needs her community’s support.
An Additional Need:
On top of legal expenses, she is facing a necessary car repair: her brakes need urgent replacement. Reliable transportation is important for obvious reasons, maintaining reliable transportation to work and a safe vehicle for her son.
How You Can Help:
Every contribution—no matter the size—goes directly toward securing the best possible future for her son. We are raising funds to cover the significant legal expenses required to see this process through its final stages And to cover a necessary car repair.
Closing Appeal:
If you are able to give, your support will help make sure this child remains in the caring, supportive Mvskoke environment he deserves—and that his mother has the tools she needs, from legal representation to safe transportation, to provide that.
If you cannot give financially, simply sharing this campaign is an invaluable way to help.
Thank you being part of her community when multiple financial stressors are hitting at once.
