If you know me, you know how hard it is for me to ask for help, so making this page was my last option made out of desperation.

I am in the military going on 16 years. Earlier this year, I was told I'd be stationed in Japan. A month before we headed to Japan, my ex-husband served me with custody papers for our 12-year-old son because he didn't want me to take him out of the country.

It's been the worst 6 months going through this battle; it's been mentally and financially draining. Our court date is coming up at the beginning of November, and I need to fly back to Virginia from Japan on top of all the accumulated legal fees. I am embarrassed to admit it, but I am struggling. My son is my everything, and I want him to know I did everything I could to have him back with me.

If you could find it in your heart to make any donation, I promise you one day I will pay you back any way I can. And if you can't, that's completely okay, but please keep us in your prayers.
