Support Our Child's Legal Battle

I've never asked for help before so this is a little tough for me. About a year ago we started the long process of pulling paternal rights on our youngest child. I have been the father, daddy, and dad, since the child has been born, and I have poured all my love and heart into my little mini me. Last week our lawyer let us know that they had moved to Arizona and could no longer represent us. Next Tuesday is our pre-trial of which he at least agreed to show up and ask for a continuance on our behalf. The bad part is I've already paid this firm about $5k and to get a new lawyer most in the valley want about the same amount as a retainer. I spent all summer working 7 days a week working 3-5 other jobs to pay that lawyer and have pretty much sold everything I could to keep it going. I have lost many hours of sleep stressing over this and of all the (legal) ways to come up with the funding this was the only way I could think of. I haven't lost all hope to prevail but its not far off. I really don't expect anyone to donate but for those that do thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts. If you've been around my little man you know how big of a sweetheart he is and he'd give you hugs and or kisses as well...

Apparently gofundme charges 2.4% and 0.30 per transaction so if anyone is anti-gofundme you are more than welcome to give it to any family member to pass on to us.
