<div><strong>Help Me Reunite with My Daughter, Charlie</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Hello, my name is Shannon, and I’m reaching out with a mother’s heart full of love, urgency, and deep faith in the power of community.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Recently, I lost all parental rights to my beautiful 5-year-old daughter, Charlie, who is on the autism spectrum. This has been the most painful chapter of my life, and likely hers as well. I never imagined being separated from her — not like this — and I’m doing everything in my power to return to her side and ensure she is safe, supported, and deeply loved.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Because of grossly misleading claims and legal misrepresentation, the courts made decisions that do not reflect who I am or the kind of mother I’ve always strived to be. I’m beyond heartbroken and deeply concerned for Charlie’s well-being.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you met Charlie, you’d fall absolutely in love with her too. She’s hilarious, curious, and has the warmest, most beautiful heart. She deserves to grow up in a world where she is deeply protected, understood, heard, and cherished.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>After pouring tens of thousands of dollars into the custody battle for Charlie over the past two years, I was no longer able to sustain the legal costs and had to release my attorney. That’s when things took a devastating turn. My ex has vast resources and powerful legal representation — and I’ve now reached a place where I simply cannot fight this battle alone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I urgently need to retain a skilled, compassionate attorney who can help bring truth and clarity into the courtroom and fight for Charlie’s rights and voice.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you know me personally — and you know my heart, my integrity, my love for Charlie, and my lifelong commitment to altruism and kindness — there are several powerful ways you can help:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>• Please consider writing a signed character witness statement about me as a mother, friend, or human being. These may be used in court to show the truth of my values and intentions. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>• If you have any professional legal advice or family law connections in New Mexico, your guidance could change the course of this case.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>• If you are able to donate to (or share) this fundraiser, you have my deepest gratitude.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><em>• If you are unable to help with the aforementioned, your prayers and strength would also mean the world.</em>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>All funds will go toward legal fees, court-related costs, and ensuring Charlie’s safety and well-being.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every small act of support matters more than words could ever say.

</div>

<div>I’m fighting for my daughter with everything I have. But I can’t do it alone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>“Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.”

</div>

<div>— Ruth Bader Ginsburg

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for being part of our fight.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With love and hope,

</div>

<div>Shannon

</div>

<div><br />
