Lawyer fund to help Sophia

My friend Chris Stevens is in desperate need to help raise funds to hire a lawyer so he can have joint custody and, or visitation rights to his daughter Sophia Rose Dawson-Stevens born on April 02 2015.  Chris is a loving, hard working, respectable man who is fighting a never ending battle with the mother of his child to see his daughter.  She feels because he decided to end their relationship that he does not have any rights to their daughter.  After paying all his bills and child support; Chris is finding it very hard to come up with a retainer to hire a good lawyer.  No child should have to suffer because of ones actions. Please help so Chris can see his daughter and have that special bond that a daughter and dad should.
