Hello, friends.  I have kept my struggle the past 6 months completely off of FB because of the privacy of the matter.  However now I find myself in need of help.  When Brandon and Ella's dad left, I struggled alone for 3 years.  The past 4 years I have been fortunate enough to have the love and support of a good man, my husband, to help provide them with a good home, family, and a lot of love.  Their dad, however, disagrees and has embarked on a never ending, on going legal campaign to attempt to take them away from me.  We have fought long and hard for the past 5 months, been to court many times, and after 7 months finally have them back with us.  However the battle is not done, with at least 2 more court hearings pending.  The financial burden has become more than we can bear.  We have the future of our family and other two children to consider.  I am fearful of the outcome moving forward without an attorney, but without help this is what I will be forced to do.  I believe it is God's plan for my husband and I to be a foundation for Brandon and Ella, to lead them, to guide them, and to teach them what is right.  I believe they need us as a team, need their mom, and it is worth fighting as hard as I can to keep them where they are right now.  Any support you are willing to offer to help me fight for my kids I will be forever grateful for.  I will never stop fighting for what I believe is best for them, but having the guidance of someone versed in the law is invaluable in a battle like this.  Please reach out privately if you want to know the full story, as difficult as it is I am am willing to share.  I am thankful for anything you are willing to give, but if you are unable to give anything at all, I ask you to remember my family in your prayers.  Pray for strength and wisdom and patience.
