Support Peter's Legal Battle for His Boys

Donation protected

My name is Peter, and I am reaching out with a heavy heart and a deep sense of urgency. I’m seeking your support to help provide my two young boys, Asher (6 years old) and Julian (4 years old), with the stability and normalcy they so desperately need during this tumultuous time in our lives.

For years, I endured financial and domestic abuse, abandonment, and threats of self-harm from my wife. Recently, she ended our marriage, taking our children with her before I had the chance to intervene and protect them. Now, I have secured a home for us, but face the very real threat of losing custody of my children if I cannot continue fighting for them in court.
I have been a devoted stay-at-home father for six years and only recently reentered the workforce. As I work tirelessly to rebuild my financial, emotional, and mental foundation, I find myself on the brink of minimal visitation of my children for the rest of their childhood. This situation has left me scrambling to piece together a path forward for my boys and me.

Before marriage and children, I had a strong work history and an excellent rental record. I specialize in home repair and renovation, landscaping, gardening, and construction. However, it will take time—months—to establish a sufficient financial track record that would enable me to ensure a stable home where I can regain custody of Asher and Julian. This challenging position feels orchestrated, leaving me struggling to keep afloat amidst mounting legal bills while being unable to progress without a helping hand.

My top priority is to save my children from further emotional and mental distress. I am determined to provide them with a safe and nurturing environment where they can thrive.

This GoFundMe was created to help sustain and provide Asher and Julian with the stability they deserve while I navigate this incredibly difficult journey. Your generosity will directly impact their future and help us move toward a brighter and more secure life together. Whether through donations or sharing our story, every bit of support brings us closer to reuniting as a family in a safe and loving home.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read our story and for considering helping us in our time of need. Your kindness means more than words can express.
