Support Misty & Tiffaney’s Grandkids' Journey to Safety

I have set up this GoFundMe to help two of my grandchildren (boy age 14 & girl age 15) that have been physically and mentally abused for years. They were alienated from our side of the family for the last 11 years. Their father and stepmother went to great lengths to make sure we had no contact with the kids… they even blocked us from access to any photos and updates about how the kids were doing and wouldn’t allow us to give them gifts for their birthday or holidays. We made plenty of attempts with getting the police involved and CPS and had no success all these years. The kids haven’t seen their mother since they were 3 and 4 years old and have been told that their stepmother was their biological mother. The oldest of the two kids figured out the truth and reached out to our family for help. Once their dad and stepmom found out they were in contact with us they told the kids to leave and not come back. They aren’t allowing the kids to take any clothing or personal items.

The children are currently removed from their terrible situation and will be moving from Utah to Florida to be with their mother Whitney. They only have the clothes on their back and nothing else. We are trying to raise money to get them plane tickets, clothing, and any essentials they might need and possibly medical expenses until they can get settled with their mother.

Their mother Whitney has a severe medical condition and is on a wait list for a liver transplant. She has limited funds due to her medial situation. Any donation no matter how big or small would be a great help, and please help us get the word out by sharing this post.

If you don’t want to send money to GoFundMe but would like to send a donation through Venmo you can send your donation to my Venmo account @Misty-UTAH-11 (Misty Bates). This would allow us to purchase clothing and essentials for the kids until we can get them to their mother. They plan on staying in Utah for two weeks to finish out the school year and could really use some help.
