Hi, lil' Danny here. It's been a long road, and I am grateful for all who have helped me along it. I took Ryker's cancer really hard and am now living less than a half hour from him. We have a great time during the small amount of time I get to see him. I am not going to go into length about why it is that way, but in a statement from his mother's attorney, we are both competent and able to be custodial parents.

I am in over my head trying to come to an agreement with her without a lawyer. Very few of you know that I gave up my truck and everything I had to ensure that he didn't get sick and miss a chemo date until he had his operation. This is not a ploy for sympathy, just facts. I cared for him every day while his mother worked, and after about a month, I found an overnight mechanic job that lasted a few months. Then it was over, and I had to take the first thing available yet again. Then I went with the show, so I wouldn't be in my head all day.

Having lost 7 other children—one abortion in active addiction, 5 miscarriages, and a suicide of a foster child—I was lost for a bit. I am doing well now, but I am in the battle of my life to get shared physical custody of my hero, Ryker. I did not want to make one of these and ask some of my best buds to pitch in, and for them, I am eternally grateful as well, but I still haven't gathered up what it takes, as I also have to rent a complete place, not just a room, and I have to have legal representation.

I have a consultant, with whom I am bartering for services, but I am going to have to get a representative in court. I knew when I gave up everything to get him better as best I could, that this would be a result, as I don't have a lot of support up here. But I would love to have him half the time and not have him grow up predominantly with one parent, and I just have him 80 days a year. Every child deserves both parents all the time or equal time. Ryker is my hero!

Please pray and share, and if it lays on your heart to pitch in, I again would be eternally grateful. I never give nor will I ever give up the fight. Will get the best damn lawyer I can. If 1000 people pitch in 5 bucks, that will be five grand. Heck, if 5000 people pitch in a dollar... More than one way to skin a cat. Peace, love, and hugs, always!
