Deborah Wellman-reel hasn't added a story.
Hello my name is Debbie and I am a single grandmother raising 3 grandchildren. I am trying to reunite these children with their youngest brother Gavin. The childrens father fought for custody of the youngest one and won when Gavin was only 2 yrs. old, seperating the siblings from each other. The father has been incarcerated since April 13th, it is his 6th arrest in the last 2 years.
A petition has been filed with the court for an emergency custody hearing. The court has granted the hearing and now I need to retain a lawyer and make the 800 mile round trip from Michigan to Indiana. All 4 of the children have seen what alcohol and drugs can do to a family at an early age. I want to make sure they all are able to grow up in a stable and loving home. The lawyer wants $1000.00 for a retainer fee to represnt this case, plus there is the cost of the gas to travel. I work full time but for little more than minimum wage and I receive no money from the state and no child support. Court is the 29th of May and it doesn't give me time to come up with the money needed.
Gavin needs to be with his family where he will be safe, secure and loved.
