Tanee & Ryley Scheifele hasn't added a story.
Our names are Tanee & Ryley. We are sisters and we are fundraising for our brother, Skyler. This has been a really hard time in his life. He never pictured having to fight for the right to be with his own son & pay thousands of dollars to do so. Legal fees are expensive & dads usually have to put up a good fight. It doesn't matter if they are equally as good of a parent or better.
In December, Skyler became involved in a custody battle over his 19 month old son, Odin. A temporary schedule allows time with Odin 2 days/week for 5 hrs & 2 days/week for 7.5 hrs. But..... subtract driving time back & forth twice/day plus a good portion is Odin's nap time.
This temporary schedule may even be reduced; to be determined at the next court date, March 30th. Being the father, he would typically receive "access" to Odin.
THAT'S NOT FAIR!
No good parent should ever just have "access" to their own child!
Odin's mother qualifies for legal aid but Skyler does not. Yet he doesn't make enough to afford a lawyer. It is so WRONG - the outcome of Odin's care could be based on who can last the longest in court!!
Our brother is a great guy, friend & father. He works night shift but will stay up to replace a transmission for his sister or repair his sister's boyfriend's truck(which he depends on for work) all day in the freezing cold. He does it without compensation & is offended when you offer. He's always there when you need to talk or need help no matter what. He is extremely hard working & will make whatever sacrifices necessary for his family. He is caring, calm, patient & puts others ahead of himself.
Most importantly, Skyler is an awesome father! Whenever he has Odin, Skyler spends all of his time with him. It is hard to plan/do things with Odin during the time Skyler has him; Skyler has to plan around driving time, nap time & lunch/supper. Whenever time does allow, Skyler plays with him, reads to him, takes him for walks, takes him to the park, rocks him to sleep, sings with him, dances with him, arranges play dates, teaches him to play hockey, cuddles him when Odin's sick & so much more! Odin never leaves his sight. Odin is Skyler's world & Odin absolutely idolizes Skyler.
This video is sure to melt your heart! Odin loves this song.

Skyler wants Odin overnight & a say in major decisions. Skyler would like more time to shape the man that Odin will one day become - show him right from wrong, how to be a gentleman, show him by example how to treat/help others & simply be the consistent male figure in Odin's life.
Right now our brother needs your help. Please help Skyler fight for his son.
