Help me save my kids

Hi, my name is Riki, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart and a plea to protect the emotional and spiritual well-being of my two beloved children.

My children are being raised in a warm, nurturing Orthodox Jewish environment, surrounded by the values, community, and spiritual framework that have anchored them through a time of immense change and challenge. Their world has already been shaken — not only by the difficult experience of divorce but also by a sudden shift in their father’s identity, which has added a layer of confusion and instability to their lives.

Their father — my ex-spouse — has transitioned and now identifies as a woman. While every adult has the right to live authentically, the way this transition has unfolded has left deep emotional impacts on our children. They are still processing trauma from the past and trying to find safety and stability again.

Unfortunately, he is now suing for custody and seeking control over major aspects of our children's lives, including their education, therapy, and religious upbringing — all while backed by powerful legal and activist support. I do not have the same resources. I am simply a mother doing everything I can to shield her children from further emotional upheaval and preserve the life that makes them feel safe, understood, and whole.

This is not a campaign of hate — it is a campaign to protect my children’s mental health, emotional safety, and religious identity. I am asking for support to help me hire a skilled family lawyer who can ensure that my children’s voices and best interests are heard and respected in court.

Why This Matters

My children have already endured significant emotional trauma. Sudden, forced changes to their environment or beliefs will only deepen the wounds they carry.

They need therapy that is trauma-informed and aligned with their cultural and spiritual context.

They deserve to grow up with consistency, safety, and support — not with their lives treated like a battleground.

What We Need

Legal battles like this are expensive and draining. I am seeking to raise $100,000 to:

Retain an experienced family lawyer

Cover court fees and legal filings

Pay for trauma-informed therapy for the children

Ensure their current educational and spiritual stability is preserved

Every Dollar Helps

Even a small donation helps us move one step closer to protecting what matters most — the emotional and spiritual well-being of two innocent children.

Thank you, from the depths of my heart,

Riki
