Hello friends, family, and brothers and sisters in Christ,

I am reaching out with humility, faith, and hope during one of the most difficult seasons of my life.

Since 2020, I have been involved in an ongoing legal process concerning the custody and well-being of my two children. This journey has been emotionally and financially overwhelming, and I am doing everything I can to remain present, stable, and strong for them.

Over the past several years, I am facing more than $80,000 in legal expenses, yet the costs continue to rise and accumulate in ongoing litigation. I am now facing:

Guardian ad Litem fees exceeding $15,000+ (increasing)

A required psychological evaluation costing $8,500

Therapeutic visitation and court-ordered services (ongoing)

Supervised visitation costs exceeding $700 per week

These expenses alone exceed my weekly income, making it incredibly difficult to maintain consistent contact with my children.

Most painfully, I have not been able to see my daughter since December 18, 2025, despite my continued efforts to comply fully with court order requirements and propose safe, supportive visitation options.

? Why I Am Asking for Help

I am a working mother in Upstate South Carolina, serving my community as a:

Licensed Massage Therapist

Family Care Assistant

Homeschooling Educator

I truly enjoy my roles in my career. My goodness serving families add to my joy, love and peace. I am grateful to provide for our family—but these legal burdens are far beyond what I can carry alone.

I am simply trying to:

Stay connected to my children

Advocate for their well-being

Remain present in their lives during this process

? How You Can Help

Your support will go directly toward:

Legal representation and court costs

Required evaluations and services

Supervised and therapeutic visitation

Maintaining my ability to remain involved in my children’s lives.

No amount is too small. Whether it’s:

A donation

A prayer

Or sharing this campaign

…it all makes a difference.

✝️ A Message of Faith

Even in this hardship, I remain grounded in my faith. I believe God is present in this journey, and I trust that He is working through the hearts of others.

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” – Galatians 6:2

Let us not grow weary and doing good.- Galatians 6:9

Blessed is he who perseveres under trial. James 1:12

I continue to pray—for my children, for healing, and for everyone involved.

From My Family to Yours
