Help our son Donovan reunite with our grandson Felix.

Dear Friends, Family, and Community,

We are humbly reaching out to you all today with a request that weighs heavily on our hearts. Our son Donovan is preparing to face an intense 50/50 custody battle for his precious little boy, our beloved grandson, Felix. This situation is both emotionally and financially challenging, and while Donovan has shown resilience and unwavering commitment to his child, the legal fees involved are beyond what he and our family can manage alone.

Donovan is a dedicated, hardworking young man who has stepped into fatherhood with profound love and natural commitment. We have watched with awe as he has grown, overcoming challenges and embracing every aspect of being a father with an open heart. This past year, watching our grandson grow has brought indescribable joy to our lives. Every smile, every milestone, every precious moment has deepened our love and determination to see him thrive in a stable and loving environment.

We are a strong family unit, and Donovan’s commitment to raising his child is surrounded by support and love from all of us. Our greatest wish is to help him continue to be the caring, involved father he so deeply wants to be. However, to ensure he has the legal resources needed, we need your support. The costs of representation and expert counsel are beyond what he or any of us could have anticipated, but we’re determined to do everything in our power to make sure this little boy grows up in the nurturing, stable home he deserves and had before recent events.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. If you’re not able to give, we ask for your well-wishes, and for sharing this page with anyone who might feel moved to help.

If you’ve followed along with our family’s journey, you know how much this little one means to us. Many of you have seen the photos and videos shared, the moments of laughter, and the incredible bond that’s formed between father and son. Feel free to message us for any details of the situation you might have questions about.

Thank you for hearing us in this personally challenging time.

With our deepest gratitude,

Jack Blackfelt (aka John Yearian)

Christine,

Donovan & Dominick (mom dad & uncle)

Felix
