Hello, my name is Ryan. I am raising funds to cover urgent legal expenses as I prepare for the custody process involving my unborn child.

I work full-time as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) at an ABA clinic, supporting children with developmental needs. Caring for children is not just my profession, it’s my passion. I am also a full-time college student, pursuing my degree to open up even more opportunities to provide for my family.

Recently, the child’s mother and I separated. Since then I have been detailing cars to raise the funds, despite this challenge, remain committed to building a safe and secure home environment. Unfortunately, this situation has also become legally complex, and I need to secure an attorney to represent me in family court, establish paternity, and cover filing and court fees.

The estimated cost for the legal retainer, court filings, and paternity testing is $5,000

The funds raised will be used for:

- Attorney retainer and ongoing legal representation

- Court filing fees and required legal costs

- Paternity testing to secure my rights as a father

This is a deeply difficult time. I have also endured personal hardships, including physical harm and undue pressure related to this situation. My priority remains creating a safe, nurturing life for my baby.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will directly help me fight for my parental rights and build the foundation of stability my child deserves. If you cannot donate, sharing this page is a meaningful way to help.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and belief in me during this life-changing time.

— Ryan
