Stand with Raevyn for Her Daughter's Custody

Hi! I’m Raevyn. I’m a single mom to a beautiful little girl and currently pregnant. I am so humbled writing this but I am truly desperate. On May 29, 2024, I got a horrifying phone call from my daughter’s school in Washington state. Her father had placed a protective order against me on her and was able to come get her and take her back to Alaska. I have not seen or heard from her since, I had no warning and was not able to say goodbye. I’m asking for help so that I can hire a lawyer. My daughter is my world.

The protective order was granted on the grounds that I was not following our current parenting plan by having my daughter in Washington with me, but I assure you, I believe I was. My daughter is everything to me, I would never jeopardize my relationship with her. On May 30, 2024, I miscarried one of the babies I was pregnant with. I believe this was due to the stress of having my daughter unexpectedly taken from me. My daughter’s father has put me through much abuse (physical, emotional, psychological, financial, etc.) and I am afraid of him. I have a history of high risk pregnancies and he knew this. I have been so consumed by loss and grief that I am finding myself confused and angry when trying to wade through this to represent myself.

Her father pulled a fast one on me and now I have to find emergency representation. I just don’t have the money to do that. My daughter needs her mother. He’s asking the courts to cut me out of her life 100% and I cannot imagine a world where my daughter and I do not get to see each other. I’ve had 100% physical custody of her for her entire life. It would destroy both her and I. She deserves her momma and she deserves to know her new sibling. Anything helps. Please, I am desperate for help. I am desperate to see my daughter.
