Support Augie in His Fight for Custody

Hi, my name is Nycole. I am making this for my brother Augie. A lot of people know his story, but a lot do not. My brother is coming out of an abusive and manipulative situation. His ex used the kids to keep my brother from leaving her. He feared the worst could happen to them. Now that the news has shown that is true, we want to continue showing him that we support him.

For those that do not know his story, I will give a snippet of it. He left his ex about 6 months ago and took his two kids. He was so scared. We had him go to the police station to file a report. When they didn’t help him, we sent him to the women’s shelter. He was then released from the shelter. They could no longer advise him. He was so relieved when he was there. He said he finally felt safe. He went through run-ins with the law because she would try to take the kids. He has been trying to save money while raising the 2 kids on his own. They are taking child support from his checks, and she receives food stamps for them, and he is not receiving their portion. He was able to get a lawyer finally. After signing and paying the lawyer, we received notification of his ex's two lock-ups. One of the arrests was for her having possession of fentanyl. Her second arrest is the big one that has made the local news. I will attach the link at the bottom.

I am asking if anyone can donate even $5. It all adds up. He is struggling to pay his bills and make hours at his job. He’s $90 behind on rent. His renter is amazing and so helpful, but he needs to be paid for helping my brother. He owes $500 to the lawyer. We are not sure if more will be charged at the time, but he wants to give her the last of what she owes so she will work hard for him. I also added some so he can be able to buy groceries without having to stress about what he can afford to buy. He wants full custody of his kids. I believe the justice system will get it right this time, and he will get the help he needs to make that happen. My brother has had a small army of people working so hard to help him, but we can only do so much. If you cannot donate, we ask that you keep him and all the kids in your prayers, and if you know of a job that will work for a single dad with two school-aged children. He cannot work every Saturday and Sunday. It is becoming too much for him when he has to do that and is a struggle to pay bills when he cannot. Thank you, everyone.
