Urgent: Legal Help for Emily to Bring Maddy Home

*Update*

• It’s been over a month since Maddy has been home with her mom and sister. Currently, the next court date is not until 4/11. Please pray for this sweet little girl (and Emily) to be strong until she can come home where she belongs.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to every single person who has donated, shared, and reached out to show support! We reached our first major milestone of covering the retainer fee and are forever grateful for all the help! We are continuing to raise money to cover rent for March (her husband has notified the landlord that he will not be paying) and to secure a more affordable apartment for Emily and the girls. Please consider donating or sharing to show support!

I am raising money to cover the retainer for a lawyer for my sister, Emily. My sweet 3-year-old niece was staying at her grandparents' house last week while Emily was sick with the flu and her husband was out of town working. They did not return her on the arranged date and cut off all communication. This is parental alienation and illegal in Virginia.

There is a trial set for Mon 3/3, but her lawyer needs the retainer paid ASAP to give enough time to prepare. I am asking for any support you can give to help bring Maddy home!
