LEGAL AID FUNDRAISER

give what you can

[every stitch counts]

We need your help to keep our family safe.

Our patchwork family of 7 is up against $40k+ in legal & expert fees in our ongoing fight for peace. We're navigating multiple unexpected court dramas & humbly need your financial support to keep our fires burning.

Life keeps throwing us curveballs & showing us what we're made of.

Hail storms & hurricanes. Complex chronic illnesses. Job losses & unpaid debts owed to us. Targeted threats to our family's peace.

All this time, our beloved friends & family have rooted us on, allowing us to keep a joyful home while steadfastly advocating in court for our children's right to a peaceful & respectful childhood.

We are oh-so-tired, but our cozy singlewide is bursting at the seams with home cooking & belly laughter. We've got a lot on our plates -- and a lot to be thankful for.

We know we're not alone in this.

Surviving this together has shown us that anything is possible when people show up for each other, authentically.

This website is our family's bid at showing up authentically for you all, our extended & growing community: sharing stories & snapshots of this hard, endlessly worth it life together. Reflecting back the light y'all shed on us daily.

Thank you for being here as we build a safe space for families like ours to be supported & celebrated: families mending & making do, turning wreckage into strength. Please share this project with good folks in your circles & follow along for updates as we find our footing in this online space.

And if you're able, please give what you can below -- every dollar directly fuels our fight for a peaceful existence.

While we're creatively problem-solving & picking up extra jobs to protect these kids, we're building a little family shop right here -- encouraged by you all. It's a work in progress with kid artwork, homemade crafts, voice note thank-yous, and handwritten cards for every donor.

We've got a long way to go, but stitch by stitch, we'll make this happen together. Thanks so much for being here with us.
