Empower Laura's Journey Forward with her Children

Donation protected
Dear friends, family, and compassionate strangers,

My name is Tara and I'm reaching out on behalf of my dear friend Laura. We've known each other via a close mutual friend for over twenty years and have some shared communities. Laura really needs our support. She is a loving and devoted mother of two young children, ages four and seven, embarking on the difficult journey of starting from scratch after leaving an unhealthy marriage.

For over seven years, Laura has dedicated herself to being a full-time mom, nurturing her two children. Recently, she made the difficult decision to separate from her husband and start anew. This choice, while necessary for her well-being and that of her children, has left her facing significant challenges.

As a stay-at-home-mom who is now restarting her career, Laura does not have adequate independent income to sustain herself and her children AND pay for the staggering costs of legal representation for her separation process and custody litigation in court. Without proper legal support, Laura risks what matters most: her children's future and her ability to build a stable life for them. She's fighting for fair arrangements for child custody, adequate child support, and her rightful share of assets.

Please note: divorces with custody disputes can exceed a cost of $50,000 in northern Virginia.

This is where you come in. Your contribution--no matter the size--will go directly towards Laura's legal counsel. Your support empowers two young children to have the secure future they deserve.

Other non-monetary ways to help:
  • Cook a meal for the family. (Please ask for dietary needs and preferences first.)
  • Provide gift cards to Target, Walmart, grocery stores, fast-casual restaurants, etc.
  • Refer Laura to meaningful full-time employment in project management and HR.
  • Volunteer to help with house work such as cleaning, light handiwork, furniture assembly.

Your generosity will provide Laura with the resources she needs to:
  • Secure a healthy, fair custody arrangement for her children.
  • Gain the resources she needs to rebuild her life.
  • Give her peace of mind to focus on healing and starting her life again.

Laura isn't just starting over, she's fighting for the future of her family. Financial support brings her one step closer to stability, and every share of this message brings the change for someone else to help.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and compassion. Together we can help Laura and her children start this new chapter of their lives with peace and security.

With gratitude,
Tara
