I am fighting to save my niece from an abusive household, and to provide her with a safe alternative to her current living situation.
During a recent visit, my eight year old niece informed me that she is being abused and neglected by her mother. She is regularly beaten, verbally abused, left to fend for herself for long periods of time, and subjected to days without food or bathing. [âŚ]
Iâm proceeding with legal action to prove abuse and neglect, so that legal guardianship can be granted to other family members. Because these proceedings may take months, Iâm also filing an emergency ex parte order to gain temporary custody while the case ensues. Iâm raising funds to rent an apartment in the city where my niece lives, so I can provide her with safe housing and keep her daily life as stable as possible during the proceedings.
With your help Iâve raised $900 so far! Please consider donating. If you are unable to donate please share with your friends and family (on FB, Twitter, IG, etc)! Thank you so much!
Iâm at a loss as to how to get this post more notes or how to get it to go viral or whatever. I just guess I need to really really really stress that my niece is in immediate danger. I didnât want to put explicit details in this post but sheâs being beaten with hangers to the point where she has welts, sheâs fallen while unattended and ended up with a head laceration, her mother regularly tells her that she ruined her life by existing, she had an outbreak of ringworm on her scalp that caused her hair to fall outâŚ.she reported to her daycare and her school and they didnât do anything⌠I reported to CPS and they didnât help. We just need help saving her, please. I just donât know how else to stress that a little black girl is enduring severe trauma and violence and that her life is at risk. weâre trying to help but itâs expensive. Iâm not even asking for help with the $10,000+ legal fees that my family is hussling to handle, we just need help getting housing so she can be placed with us. Please share.
