Please help if you can with our family emergency

Hello all,
Thank you for taking the time today to review our fundraiser. To be honest, I hate having to do these fundraisers for any reason, but we're at a critical point in this ongoing family emergency, and I can't get any more loans or work more jobs than I am already.

In my several custody battles with my ex-wife, who has abducted or absconded with my daughter internationally countless times since she was an infant, we have had to unjustly face a great deal of misfortune and financial struggles. This individual has severe mental health issues/dark personality disorders, and her abusive and devious conduct has significantly contributed to my daughter’s poor psychological health/well-being to such the degree that she, herself, is now functionally disabled and out of control. She has absconded with my daughter 3 times since last May, leading to my daughter attempting suicide multiple times when in her "care". My daughter has had to be hospitalized 7 times since that period - most recently again just two days ago. I have had to give up much of my professional career for lesser jobs to work around this situation and have lost positions due to my ex's meddling and the time I've needed to take off to navigate this neverending crisis.

All of this has ripped away our quality of life and collective well-being, as well as systemically compromised my finances. It has left us with significant debt, along with legal fees, and has us teetering on Bankruptcy. I have used every government resource available and pawned everything worth pawning, but still have at least $6000 in debts that need to be paid soon, or we will lose our home and our power will be shut off, among other things. I'm not even factoring in basics such as food. If I can raise at least $3500 in the next two-three weeks, the most critical debts (ie rent and hydro power) will at least be covered and we won't be out on the street. That will give me enough time, at the very least, to stabilize the situation and sort out other matters, such as my daughter’s deteriorating health, who can't attend school anymore, as well as my own health which has been significantly impacted by everything. Just having to work overtime nights and evenings with no sleep for several days every week, whilst also dealing with constant vindictive attacks from a deranged person, all while administering round the clock care to a functionally disabled and defiant teenager is in itself beyond demanding....

Thank for taking the time to read this. I don't expect anything from anyone, but if you can give, whatever small amount and would like to, then I thank you from the depths of my heart. This battle has become an endless war and I've done as much as any one man can do, except walk away, which is not in my nature to do, and beyond my daughter, I also have many sweet rescue animals that depend on me.

Thank you.
