Help Me Stay in My Kids' Lives

My name is Manuel Martinez, and I’m facing one of the hardest battles of my life: the fight to stay in my children’s lives. I believe that family is the foundation of who we are, and that children thrive when they have the love, guidance, and presence of their parents.

Right now, I’m unable to see my kids, and this separation has been heartbreaking—not just for me, but for my oldest daughter and other family members who deeply love and miss them. This isn’t just about my rights as a father; it’s about my children’s right to have the love and support of their dad, to grow up knowing that family is something worth fighting for.

I believe every parent has a duty to protect and nurture their children, and I’m committed to fulfilling that responsibility. But to do so, I need legal help, and legal battles are expensive. This fight is about standing up for what’s right—for the idea that love, connection, and family should never be torn apart without cause.

I’m asking for your support to help me continue this fight. If you’re able, a larger donation would mean the world to me, but I also understand that not everyone can give much. Even a small contribution makes a difference, and I’m so grateful for anything you can offer.

This is more than a personal battle—it’s about defending the values we hold dear: love, family, and the belief that every child deserves their parents in their lives.

Thank you for reaching from the heart and helping me fight to bring my family back together.

Martinez, Manuel, A.A., C.A.S.
