Dear Family, Friends, and Community,
We are reaching out to you today during the most critical and painful season our family has ever endured. We are in an urgent race against time to protect our sweet son and bring him into the safety of our home permanently.
Our son is dynamic, loving, and lives with autism. Because of his developmental and sensory needs, he requires absolute stability, gentle care, and a completely safe environment to thrive. Tragically, he has not been safe. We have recently uncovered that our son, who is now 11 and has autism, has been physically abused while in his current guardianship care, and we are raising urgent funds to gain full custody and protect him.
Discovering that our vulnerable child has suffered physical harm has completely broken our hearts, but it has also filled us with a fierce determination to protect him. Now that he is 11 years old, it is more critical than ever that we secure a permanent environment where his voice is heard and his specialized needs are met. We are taking immediate, aggressive legal action in the family courts to secure full custody (Sole Managing Conservatorship) to ensure he is never placed in harm's way again.
My husband works tirelessly, but his entire paycheck goes directly to our mortgage and monthly utilities. Due to my own ongoing medical health issues, I am unable to work, and our family does not qualify for state assistance programs. A high-stakes legal battle requires an immediate attorney retainer fee that we simply cannot afford on our own.
Every single dollar raised through this fund is strictly restricted to our legal costs: hiring a dedicated family law attorney, court filing fees, process servers, and the legal measures required to secure his safety through a custody modification.
Our son deserves to grow up wrapped in love, safety, and the specialized support his autism requires.
Please consider making a donation to help us fight for his life and safety in court. If you are unable to give financially, sharing our link with your network is just as powerful.
Thank you for listening to our story, for standing against abuse, and for helping us bring our boy home to safety.
