Disabled Mom

My best friend Shonna is in a bit of a bind. She is applying for disability, but has not had any income since 2009. Her ex-husband has filed for back child support totaling just over $8,000 knowing full well that she has no money and no income. If she doesn't pay, she could face up to a year in jail.
She loves her kids with all her heart and would sacrifice anything for them but doesn't know how to come up with the money.
Shonna does not know about this campaign.
Her court date is April 12th, so we are in a bit of a time crunch. Any help you can provide would go a long way.
