Disabled father of toddlers fighting for our lives
Donation protected
After my accident, I started experiencing epileptic seizures and lost my ability to operate a moving vehicle. But then I met her, we fell in love, and my world was limitless. We had two beautiful children together that became the absolute center of my universe. Although I wasn’t able to work anymore I got to be their Daddy which has been and continues to be the most rewarding adventure of my life.
I thought I was marrying the love of my life but once the marriage was finalized I lost my disability income, and she began to lose her temper and patience with me. I understand that being the sole breadwinner of the household is difficult, I never meant to put her in that situation. I never asked for this and I never wanted to be in a position where I couldn’t provide for my children. I did everything I could to keep the family together, I put up with her punching me, I put up with her slapping and strangling me. But when she turned her anger on our infant baby boy-slappinghim, and verbally abusing him I couldn’t do it anymore. I had to try to save my babies, I finally built up the courage and I called the police, got a restraining order, and left her.
Now without her, without a job, without my disability income, I feel like I stand alone in the world, a father trying to protect his children without being even able to take care of himself. I didn’t want to be in this situation, I don’t like to think of myself as disabled, helpless, or homeless. As much as begging for help destroys my reputation with myself- I know protecting my children and fighting for them are the two most important missions of my life and I can’t give up on them.
I am humbly asking for you to donate or share this GoFundMe so that I can afford to keep my children fed, with a roof over their heads, and their loving father supporting them and tucking them into bed every night. I want to continue to see my babies every day or as much as the courts will allow- the thought of a life without them is no life at all. I am asking for your financial support to help hire a lawyer and rescue my children. I have no family still living that can help me. She has all of the cards in her hands right and all of the financial power to fight this until I have absolutely nothing left-no children, no home, no hope.
