Hi everyone who was kind enough to even click on the cause to read this. I thank you for that. I will first tell you the purpose of this request for donations and then we will get into the information on it. Our friend and sister in recovery Shauna, to help her go to mediation for UNSUPERVISED every other weekend
visits, and electronic communication in between visits.
Now, let’s get into the “why we are here”, and why I pray you feel led to donate any amount your heart deems appropriate.
Shauna, like many amazing people I know, struggled with alcoholism and addiction. And, as most who have struggled, she made decisions during a time she was sick and suffering, that have now separated her and her 8 year old son. She works on her recovery daily, so this never causes any more hardships for herself or her kids. Over the last 2 years, she has worked hard to create a life her kids can be proud of. She will have 2 years clean and sober in a matter of weeks! WHAT A MIRACLE AND TESTIMONY OF HER DEDICATION TO RECREATING LIFE FOR HER CHILDREN! Sadly, she only gets to see her 8 year old through a few hours of supervised time. And she is allowed no communication with him in between visits. Even with all the time and effort she has put in. And she works so hard as a single, full time mom of twins, with no help, to pay for these visits. Which has not allowed her to save for the mediation she was told she could
petition for when she had 9 months of sobriety. Anyone who has taken care of one or more kids alone, with no help from another parent knows how hard it is to save. So she’s just had to focus on just paying for the visits and accepting the time she gets. All while
staying clean and sober, taking care of twin toddlers, and helping so many others.
Take a moment to reflect on how much you needed your mom at 8 years old.
Imagine only getting minimal hours with her, with another person watching you guys, and not being able to talk to her any other time. This is the position Shauna and her son are in. And her twins are growing up with very minimal relationship with their brother. This is their childhood. The time they will look back on as the foundation period for their adulthood. And Shauna has spent 2 years almost making up for the damage she caused and will continue to, but how long should the 8 year old have to miss out on time with his mom and brothers? Especially considering that the only thing standing in between, since she had the 9 months sober that was required, is the financial ability to cover legal fees. If you can feel any compassion, empathy, or even sympathy for a child not getting more
time with a mother, based on financial circumstances, please donate. Any amount will help. And there will be 3 people ensuring funds are properly allocated. Any amount will help. Thank you,
