Deb Della Piana hasn't added a story.
My name is Deb Della Piana. My son, Aaron, and I have known Joanie Fiore and her son A.J. since they were in the first grade together. Aaron and A.J. are best friends.
Joanie and A.J. have been involved in a long-standing custody battle with A.J.'s other mother, who is not his birth mother. For the majority of his life, he has been with Joanie, who is one of the best moms on the planet. When they moved to a new city, their case was given to a new judge, whom I consider to be unqualified for her position. She made a decision that is not in the best interest of A.J. She ordered him to spend the entire summer with his other mother, and has decided that she deserves 50-50 custody.
A.J. has spent weekends with us. He has told my son that he is stressed out and miserable with his volatile other mother. Now, Joanie and A.J. have been given the opportunity to appeal, and it is scheduled for October 13. Joanie's mom has given an attorney $5,000 but, due to the sheer volume of material, another $5,000 is required. We need your help.
I am posting this on my Facebook page. I have nearly 5,000 contacts. If every person just donates $1 or $2, Joanie can reach her goal. I am keeping my fingers crossed!
I would be eternally grateful for your help but, more importantly, you would make a 15-year-old boy very happy and relieve his stress.
