▪️Read below to hear Mama Bears story:

“In 2017, my husband was indicted on felony child sex abuse charges for abusing my daughter, and he is now a Tier III Registered Sex Offender for life. Three and a half years later, I am STILL stuck in family court trying to protect my other two daughters from him. I keep waiting for this nightmare to end, but it never does. The legal fees to date have been over $30,000 and the mental health medical expenses have topped $10,000. In addition to trying to protect my children from an already convicted pedophile, and trying to meet all of their needs through this trauma, I am also actively working to reform the sex offender laws in the State of Maryland, as this journey has exposed numerous loopholes in the criminal and family court systems. I've had a proposed bill introduced the past two legislative sessions, and hope to be back up in Annapolis doing it again next January, but the time commitment for me to keep doing this work is huge, and I am stretched so thin as it is.

I've turned down multiple suggestions for fundraising before, as it just feels so wrong to me. It shouldn't be so hard for the family left behind. One person's horrible actions shouldn't also be able to cause financial destruction for years and years going forward. I used to think I just had to make it a little longer, a little further. But I'm starting to feel like the light at the end of the tunnel isn't coming. Although part of me is still so reluctant to accept help, the other part of me knows I have an obligation to my children to do the very best for them at all times, regardless of my pride or discomfort. If there is any way to lighten some of this load so I can continue fighting on all fronts, I have to consider it. I am just hoping to get my head above water so I can be better equipped to meet my daughters' needs. They've already lost so many members of their family, and many days I feel like they are losing their mother, too. As a family, my daughters and I sacrificed so much to push forward and get a conviction to protect society from this man. Now I need help protecting them from him as well. Even if you aren't comfortable donating, please know how grateful I am just for all of the recent listening and encouraging.”
