Help Me Get My Girls Back
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Stephanie Emerson. I am trying to raise money to hire a lawyer to help me get my three little girls back. I had an episode of mania from my bipolar depression in April of 2014, and my future ex-husband abandoned me and took my girls and took out a restraining order against me so that I couldn't have contact with them. I was never a danger to my girls; my husband and I were just fighting, and he was as much to blame as I was. He fabricated outrageous details and a restraining order was approved by a judge while I was in the hospital seeking help. None of these fabricated details are true and were never proven or questioned. I came home from the hospital to find everything and everyone gone and got a knock on the door, served with a restraining order. I have gotten wonderful treatment for my bipolar disorder and have virtually recovered, but I have no funds for a lawyer to fight for my rights as their mother. This money will be used to hire an attorney to fight for me and help me make sure my little girls will be raised appropriately. I need this money before November 5th, 2015, which is when the attorney needs the money before our mediation on November 10, 2015. You will be saving Bailey Grace, Olivia Claire, and Adelaide Nola May's lives by helping them get their mommy back. They keep asking me when I get to come home, and it breaks my heart. We will spend the rest of our lives thanking those who have made the effort to help us. Please consider donating to this cause, as it affects three sweet little girls' lives.
Gratefully,
Stephanie Emerson
