Help bring a daughter back home

My best friend whom I love more than life is going through chemo and is unable to work, I work 6 days a week 8 to 12 hour days just so I can support her by paying the utility bills, rent and buying groceries. Unfortunately that doesn't leave me with any money at all to help her get a lawyer to fight her custody battle with her ex. They used to have 50/50 custody, but he since has moved to Texas and took their daughter with him and had been acting unilaterally against the court ordered agreement. We did take him to court but his girlfriends family was able to get him a lawyer and we could not afford one. Due to that fact they gave him primary physical custody and 100% legal, even though his mother, whom he lives with, hits his daughter and they have a dog that bites her and has even left a scar on her eyebrow. We are attempting to raise the money in hopes to cover lawyer fees so she once again can have at least 50/50 if not primary custody so we can be sure her daughter is in a safe place with people that love her and care for her.
