Caridad Sandoval hasn't added a story.
My name is Caridad Zolia Oberto-Sandoval , I am in need of my friends and families help.
I am trying to raising money to pay a lawyer, so I can get my son back. His name is Jorge Sandoval he is 14 years old and his father took him from me on January 18th, 2015. He came to take him and his older brother Luis Sandoval Jr. for the weekend and only returned Luis Jr. He was supposed to bring them both back so that they can attend school and continue their lives. But in the evening of January 18th ,2015 only Luis jr. came home. The father stated, that he would not bring back Jorgie,that he is going to live with him. I was frantic and called the police, to try to bring him back, but they can not until the finalize the custody and scheduling of dates between parents. I have called child services and they have not brought my son back.
It's been over a month that I have not seen my Son. It was his Birthday, on February 18th ,2015 and he has not allowed me to speak or see him. It's not right what he is doing to us and especially to Jorgie. His brothers have been isolated away form him. Luis Sandoval Sr. doesn't care for his children, he's going to try to keep my son, for his social security money. I have been calling him daily and he does not answer my calls. He rather place my son in the care of a stranger, than to have him home with this mother and brothers.
My phone is being disconnected, I have been trying to get a lawyer for over a month. All the lawyers that I have come across, have been asking me for a Retainer over $3000. I unfortunately have not been able to work, since I have been sole care giver for my sons. I, just started working this past week, at Mc Donalds to make some money to pay the house bills and food for my children. Their father has not provided for them,since he left the house to live with his girlfriend. I have filed on my own court papers, since he has violated the agreement to bring the children back in time for their school many times. But I need Legal Council to help me with all these proceedings.
The father has now filed for full custody of the children. He made an emergency filing in the court to take the children away from me. He has gotten the funding for Jorgie be frozen so that none of the bills to be paid and to place our home for sale. The Father has asked the court to have Jorgie's funding be transferred to him so that he can take them money. My son Jorgie is living now with his father , girlfriend and her children in a 2 bedroom apartment. He is a special needs child that needs to have his own space, like he has here at home. Here he has his own room and space and the loving and caring of his family. He took my son out of school enrollment and placed in a school in Saint Petersburg, Florida. Jorgie, is need to be in a special needs school, like he was here with me in Miami.
Let me give you some history of my beautiful Son, Jorge Sandoval.
During birth my little boy had trouble breathing and needed to be placed on a ventilator. Upon them placing him on the ventilator, the staff did not see that it was calibrated for an adult. This caused for one of his lungs to burst and his brain to have a massive brain bleeding. My son was in the hospital for months and was given the diagnoses of 4th graded deleted brain and COPD. We took the hospital to court and Jorgie was given a monetary about to be used for his care and life. Jorgie continued to grow but with difficulties. Jorgie has sever seizures and has to be on his medications. If Jorgie, misses one of his dosages, he will be in seizures. At the age of 6 months, Jorgie was placed in a study at the hospital and they detected that he had 88 seizures in a day. He had water in the brain that had to be drained twice and in the verge of getting a permanent shunt. I pleaded with the Doctors to not do it and Jorgie eventually was able to maintain his head dimensions.
After receiving the settlement his father did not work for over 6 years. He then decided to become a truck driver and left me and the children. For over 8 years to only stay with us 2 to 3 times a year. I have been they only one that my son understands. I am his mother and he and his brothers are my life. I love my son, Jorgie and it breaks my heart that I can not speak to him or even see him. Now at the age of 14, he has the delayed mentality of a 7 year old child. He still has problems in differentiating things, so it kills me, when his father tells him that I am not his mother. I love my son with all my heart. He is mentally abusing my Son, how he has to me for many years. I have been taking care of my children 24/7 and I am a proud mother. I love my children and they need me.
Their father did not his credit cards and the court ended up seizing our only car. The car that was purchased for the well being of Jorgie. This has left me with no car, to take my children to school, doctors or even to go buy food. But there is a God and I am able to survive, I will get back on my feet soon. I have been able to make it with out a car for over 3 months. I have been trying to go to the courts but no one seems to be able to help me. So that is the reason I need to get help to be able to pay for a lawyer. Their father has not paid child support for any of the children, now since this all started 10 months. He has not even done our income tax for over 9 years.
I am now asking, pleading for help to pay for an attorney. I can not let him take Jorgie away from his family. Please help me raise this money to bring my child home. As a desperate mother who is truly doing her best, I ask for everyone's help.
There is a saying my mother used to say, “ We do not have much, but we do have love and each other.”,
”From nothing, you can always make something”. Please help me raise this money. I have 3 wonderful boys. Andres Sandoval 27 year old who is helping me stay together. Luis Sandoval (AKA) Lucho 16 years old and my Jorgie . I love my boys they are my life. I am a good mother to all of them.
I know that I was married to this man for the last twenty seven years. He has hit me, insulted me and degraded me in-front of my children. I was a proud housewife and mother. I continue to be the best friend of my children and mother. I love my boys and I'll do anything for my children.
So please help this mother in need, get her son back.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
