Many of you, our friends and family, are aware of the custody battle we have been fighting for my daughter, Gracie. Last November, her mother decided that I no longer needed to be part of Gracie's life, and we have not seen her since. We have not talked to her since January. We hired a lawyer and went to court in March. Unfortunately, Gracie's mother is Native American, and ran to the Ute Tribal court for help. Our lawyer knew nothing about tribal laws, but assured us he knew what he was doing. Well, months, and several thousand dollars later, it turns out he did not know what he was doing. We have now consulted with a total of four lawyers, and finally found one who specializes in tribal law, and may be able to help us. After months of no contact, Gracie's mother is now pressuring me to relinquish my parental rights. This is not, and never will be an option. We do not like asking for help, but at this point, we are financially exhausted and in desperate need for some help. We have done everything we can, but can not move forward with the new lawyer until we can come up more money. It is very hard for us to ask for this kind of help, but our role in Gracie's life depends on it. If any one can find it in their hearts to donate even just a few dollars to our "save Gracie" fund, we would be eternally grateful. We are hoping to raise enough money to be able to start the ball rolling with the new lawyer with in the next few weeks. My new job has helped but we are getting strechted too thin, and need help. It has been too long and it is time for this issue to be resolved. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! - Mike and Tabitha
