For The Kachur Boys, With Love

Donation protected
Dear friends, family and supporters, 

My name is Lisa Kachur, and I am here today to try to raise funds, support, awareness, thoughts, encouragement, prayers, etc., anything that will help my family during an extremely difficult time.

This is a true cry for help, one that is hard for me to put into a summary with words. My husband, Chris, and I are struggling with the reality that our only option to continue fighting this battle is to rely on the help and support of others, which is a humbling pill to swallow.

Due to the sensitive nature of the information, our need to preserve the emotional well being of the children involved, and this being an active ongoing case currently, I am, unfortunately limited on the amount of details I can share. However, my husband and I do feel it’s necessary to share what has brought us here to initiate a personal fundraising campaign. It is the result of a heartbreaking custody battle between my husband and his ex-wife. They have three amazing, smart, active, healthy teenage boys together. My husband lives and breathes for his boys, and they have all shared an impermeable father-son bond since they were born, until now. They now go through periods of feeling torn and confused as their foundations have been forever changed. 

The family court process is a lengthy and complicated procedure that is extremely draining and tough on both parents, children and extended family. We have had four all day court hearings and a fifth is scheduled for July 12. Each time we thought would be the last in hopes of resolution, but we continue to be hit, inside and outside of the courtroom, with a constant barrage of attacks riddled with false accusations and manufactured issues. Essentially, there appears to be a drawing on hopes of our having no other choice but to give up, as it becomes more difficult for us to sustain the longer it takes. We are now at a stage, both financially and emotionally, where we have been beaten down, battered, broken and facing no other option but to give up.

Without the ability to share more detail, you might imagine the magnitude of our losses, both invaluable and monetary. As a result, we have lost and continue to lose income, irreplaceable family time, as well as a sense of peace and security. We continue to amass evidence of the above behavior patterns, and our attorney presents them to the court brilliantly, but we take on additional false accusations on a consistent basis forcing us to live in a constant state of threat and harassment daily. Our attorney has to remain on high alert and be prepared to switch her focus on a dime to defend his character and his rights as a father, as well as his boy’s rights to maintain a constant bond with their father.

Our family is loved and supported by so many people who have reached out in support by offering encouragement, prayers and any assistance they can. Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude and we feel we can never begin to repay those who have and will continue to walk beside us during this time with support and encouragement, despite the overwhelming magnitude and uncertainty of what lies ahead. With hope and faith, we pray with the help of this campaign, to be connected to kind souls with a giving heart that can donate to help our family to continue fighting for the best possible disposition that will nurture my three step-sons to grow into healthy, happy, peaceful, moral and productive young men. That is what we are fighting for and will continue to fight for until the very end. Giving up this battle, if we are forced to, will forever change their lives and will influence their ability to find their own place in this world with confidence and peace, as they will suffer if they are denied their right to their father’s love and guidance.

Any contribution to our fund will serve to be a powerful timely support system, and will help to preserve the voices of the three volatile teenage boys involved in this crisis. Just know that anything will help, whether in the form of any donation amount, kind words of encouragement and support, or simply prayers alone. Any of the above would be a gracious gift to our family during this time. In our hearts, it will be a priceless gift that we will remember forever.  Funds raised here will go directly to defray our expenses resulting from current legal fees and those to come. Any funds raised over and above our needs to finalize and resolve this process we wish to donate to a family/children's foundation of some sort that funds assistance to families and children involved in such an exhausting and heartbreaking crisis such as ours. No children should have to suffer any portion of their childhood as victims of circumstance.

Thank you all so very much, from the bottom of our hearts, and may God bless you for taking the time and interest in learning about our story.

With Love and Thanks to all,
The Kachur Family
