Support for Daughter's Custody Battle

I’ve been in a custody battle for over a year now — a battle to protect my daughter and to give her the peace, healing, and future she deserves. She suffered mental and emotional abuse.

There’s finally been some movement, and a court date is set for August 25th. But the road here has been anything but easy.

In May, it was ordered that my daughter begin reunification therapy. I hoped this would be a step toward healing, but instead, it’s only caused more harm. The therapist assigned to her case has now refused to release vital records unless I pay exorbitant fees — $240 for a basic summary letter, not including additional charges she says she’ll add on. She ignored countless calls from my attorney and then outright refused to speak with her once they finally connected.

The financial toll is becoming unbearable. I already know another bill is coming from my lawyer at the end of the month for all the hours spent chasing what should have been a straightforward request.

Every single dollar goes directly toward my legal fees — to continue fighting for my daughter’s well-being and mental health. She has made tremendous progress this past year. But she is still vulnerable. I came heartbreakingly close to losing her to suicide once. I cannot let that happen again.

If you can’t give, please consider sharing. It means more than you know.

Thank you for reading — and for holding space for us in your heart.
