David's Legal Counsel Fund

Donation protected
My name is David Heise. I'm a full time stay at home parent, and a part time musician. I have done many things to make ends meet in my marriage, from previoulsy working past 80 hours a week and commuting on top of that, to driving for uber over an hour and a half away and sleeping overnight in my car.

My wife and I decided to move to Midland Michigan fom the Chicago area in 2012 for her pastorate at First Baptist Church. Since then I have lived and breathed my children. I have cared for them, fed them, changed their diapers and potty trained one of them. In 2015 the birth of our second child meant that I was caring for a newborn in excess of 50 hours a week, as well as our 5 year old.

Now, my beloved wife is filing for divorce. She has cut me off financially. I am left without a significant income and no way to pay the upfront $2000 retainer and ongoing legal fees of my attourney. Beyond that I have no way to continue to live on my small income. To add insult to injury, Lara has decided to not let me see the children. I have to follow a legal process to gain joint custody, for which I need legal counsel. I am looking for local employment. I can't go back to Illinois to live with family if I am going to share custody. I need help to retain my parental rights. Please, if you have it in your heart, any amount no matter how small will help me in my plight. Please consider donating to this gofundme page. 

Thank you very much for your consideration, and your donation. It will go very far to mending the wounds my family must endure in this process.
