No matter the species, mom's have their children's best onterest at heart. When rights are stripped by family court, the appeals process isn't just a financial hardship. It is also an emotional and mental roller-coaster.  The burden of cost takes a mental toll when a  mother isn't sure how she is going to be able to afford the appeal. Transcripts can cost around 10,000. Then a lawyer must be involved to write the brief for the appeal. Lawyer fees pile up quickly.  And it all means nothing if the judge rejects the appeal. This is heartbreaking for mothers.  The emotional turmoil created by the whims of a single judge can be soul crushing. Mothers can be left to deal with anxiety, loneliness, and depression.  This can even be used against them in court. Let's offer pur help with them having to ask of us.

Thanks for all the support to date.
