Glenn McIntyre hasn't added a story.
My name is Glenn McIntyre, and I have created this fundraiser page for the benefit of my daughter, Suzanne, and two grandsons, Samuel and Shea.
Funds raised will be used for legal and travel expenses coincident with her divorce and custody proceedings. Her story, below, describes her situation and we/she/the boys need your help to weather the storm and make it through the legal proceedings.
Here's the 'story'. Suzanne is the mother of two boys, ages 16 and 9. Circumstances and medical issues have put her in an untenable position. She is separated, and working towards a divorce, and added expenses are mounting.
Suzanne has been separated for 8 of the 16-year marriage, due to spousal abuse, support neglect and continual stress from the children’s father. His substance-related problems during the period they lived together drained all resources which only worsened as their marriage deteriorated and they separated. He recently pled guilty to domestic violence as a plea bargain to a rape charge.
She faces mounting expenses regarding her divorce and custody efforts – both of which involve two states – West Virginia and New York. Further, medical issues have put her on disability.
To obtain her divorce and to keep custody of her boys she needs financial help. Not surprising, her future ex-husband owes more than $28,000 in child support. While he pleads poverty concerning child support, he is able to afford expensive counsel to try and permanently remove the boys from their home.
Recently, her husband has gotten the 16-year-old through an interim court order His brother (the 9-year old) was so hysterical when the police arrived to remove them, that they (New York police), thus far have not forced him to go with his father to another state. . The 9-year old is afraid of his father. At this writing, the boys are now in different homes in different states.
To date, Suzanne has managed to stay above water, but the future is unknown. At this point, she is at wits (and financial) end and is grateful for any assistance.
Suzanne has very little money to live on. She has obtained HUD housing, and established and maintained a home with no money to spare. Through all this, she still managed to get her kids and herself to doctor and counseling appointments. Through everything, she still has managed to meet her obligations, though she has never gotten any dependable child support.
Still she is just getting by on her monthly disability check.
We are trying to raise $10,000 dollars to help with any additional expenses as well as multiple trips between New York, where she resides and West Virginia.
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
