Hi — my name is Allie.

For the last 16 years I’ve devoted my life to raising my children. I was with them 24/7, I homeschooled them, and they are my entire world. After 20 years of marriage, I made the brave choice to leave because my children and I deserved honesty, safety, and a fresh start. Leaving wasn’t easy — I walked away from everything I had built: our home, our car, and the financial stability I relied on as a stay-at-home mom.

Now my children are being kept apart from me. Their father is using custody as retaliation for my decision to leave, and with no home, no car, no income, and no family or friends to turn to, I’m struggling to bring them back where they belong — home with their mother.

I’m asking for help to rebuild a safe, stable life for my kids and to hire the legal support we need to reunite our family. Your donation will go directly to:

• Securing safe housing so we can have a stable place to live.

• Getting reliable transportation to get my children to school, appointments, and court.

• Hiring an experienced family lawyer to fight for my children and our rights.

• Basic essentials as we transition back — clothing, school supplies, and everyday needs.

I know how it feels to be alone and powerless. That’s why, when we’re back on our feet, any extra funds will go to help other parents stuck in the same impossible situation — because no one should feel this hopeless.

Please donate what you can, and please share my story. Every dollar, every share, every message of support brings my children one step closer to coming back home.

From the bottom of my heart — thank you.
