Struggling, desperate Father…

Hi everyone, 

I am writing this today, broken down and defeated.  This is embarrassing and I am reluctant to write this. But desperation has taken over and this is a last resort. If you don’t know me, my name is Shane. I’m the proud father to a beautiful little girl named Edyn. When she was born. My whole life changed, and I became what I’ve always wanted to be. A dad. My sole purpose in the lifetime, is to give her the love and life that she well deserves. 

A lot of you may not know this. But my little girl had some episodes shortly after birth of going unconscious. As a concerned parent I did what anyone else would and call 911 to bring her to the hospital. When she was in there they did scans and tests and found that she had a bleed in her brain. She is ok now and fully developing at a high rate of speed with no concerns for her health. We don’t know how it happened and we think it was a delayed incident that happened at birth. 

The doctor at Elliot hospital mistaken her diagnosis, saying she had fractures in her skull (that was false) and in return called the state, and in return have accused me of hurting my child. The doctor retracted his statement and claimed “I’m an adult practitioner, I don’t work with babies” but because of his accusations, I am fighting a legal battle that quite frankly I cannot afford. All in all this will be costing upwards of $50,000 and is preventing me from being able to live, and making it difficult to care for my daughter. Paying for a lawyer costing upwards of 30+ thousand dollars and an expert medical witness upwards of 10-15 thousand dollars has really put a halt on my quality of life and ability to live or support myself and my daughter. 

The Manchester police searched my home, took my phone, and interrogated me for hours and hours. After it was too late I realized that they had already made a conclusion that I did it and did what they could to make there conclusion true. They manipulated me, twisted my words. Threatened me, and eventually put me in Valley Jail for a week and have charged me with felonies. 

For those of you that know me, know I am the furthest from violent, furthest from angry, and love everyone and everything. All I’ve ever wanted in life was to be a dad and have a little girl to take to father daughter dances and teach her about life and everything else you can think of. But because of this, I may never get to do that with her.. 

Im slowly losing everything I’ve worked so hard for. I’ve lost my significant other, and the relationship with her son that I worked so hard for the year they lived with me before we had our daughter. Im losing my sanity and it’s becoming harder to get through my days. Im only allowed to see my daughter twice a week under supervision. I’m fighting so hard for her and to stay in her life. Soon I’m going to lose my apartment and my job and my car if they choose to take the states side. I have no normalcy. 

Come November I go on trial. They are trying to put me in jail for a very long time. For life.. the sad part, there are people out there who are actually hurting there kids and there doing nothing about it, there’s people out there that do such harm to there kids and they get to see them everyday. I love my daughter with every fiber of my being and they are running me through the ringer because I was a concerned parent, and brought her into care when she needed it. But being a male and being alone with her, I’m accused of putting her in harms way.. 

I’ve reached my half way mark of my goal. This is going towards supporting my daughters needs, and paying for legal expenses to hopefully continue the relationship and hold the bond I have with my daughter. She’s all I have left. She’s the reason I wake up every morning, and try to do better everyday. Without her, I am nothing but a sad, broken man, with nothing left.

Anything would help the cause and I promise to pay every penny back that has been donated weather on here or friends and family that have helped along the way. By anything, I also mean that I could really use all the support I can at this time which is worth more then money. 

Thank you all for taking the time to read this and I appreciate everyone who has helped along the way.
