DAY 21 — HELP ME BRING MICHAEL HOME

Today, September 15, marks 23 days since I last saw my 4-year-old son, Michael.

It is also Day 17 without food since I put my plate away while fighting for my son's return.

21 days without his hugs.
21 days without dancing with him.
21 days without hearing his little footsteps and voice around our home.
My heart breaks.

I miss my son more than words can express.

Michael was taken from our home by his father on August 24, based on false allegations that I can "possibly harm" my son and has not been returned to me.

But what began as one mother's personal story is becoming something much bigger.

I am standing for Michael — but I am also standing for every woman, every child and every family who deserves to feel protected, heard and supported.


WHERE YOUR DONATIONS WILL GO

Your support will help with three urgent priorities:

1. Bringing Michael home
Your donations will help cover the legal costs involved in pursuing Michael's return and creating stability for his future.

2. Keeping a roof over our heads
I have been informed that Michael's father will no longer contribute toward the mortgage on our jointly owned home. Donations will help me meet mortgage and housing expenses while this situation is being resolved.


WOULD YOU GIVE $10?

Movements do not always begin with thousands of people.

Sometimes they begin with a few people who decide to stand.

If thousands of people each give just $10, those individual acts can become something powerful.

$10 to help bring Michael home.

$10 to help keep our home secure.

Every donation matters.
Every share matters.
Every prayer matters.
Every voice matters.

LET'S CHANGE THE FUTURE

I am standing for my son.

I am standing for our home.

I am standing for women and children who deserve a stronger voice.

And I am choosing to believe that this moment can become the beginning of something bigger.

One mother. One voice. A movement for change.
