This is regarding a previous diary I wrote but I must explain to you the circumstances. It is critical that I take action now because by the middle of July according to KY state law the father can just keep my grandson without a fight.
Let me refresh your memory. My daughter was coerced back in January to agree to a 3 month parenting plan which gave my grandson's father temporary custody. The 3 months have long since passed. The father has decided now that he wants full custody. One of the parents has to petition the court after the 90 day parenting plan to go back before the judge.
I have spent endless hours on the phone calling attorney's in my area, surrounding areas and as far away as Nashville which is 75 miles away. I have been given quotes from $5000 up to $10,000. We could not afford this. Finally I found an attorney we could afford and it is with your previous donations that I had put away for a rainy day so to speak that we were able to hire this attorney and petition the court. However, we are $700 short. The attorney agreed to let us make payments but will not go to court to battle this case until he has every red cent. After we hired the attorney and he looked into the case, we get the phone call from him stating that according to Kentucky law if the child is in his custody for 6 months, he gets to keep him without a fight. So time is crucial and we are running out of time.
I am a proud person, never asked anyone for anything until I got sick. It was I who always did for others so it is very hard for me to type this through the tears but I'm not too proud to beg when it comes to fighting for my grandson. Will you please help. Will you find it your heart to help me just this one more time?
At the moment, I can only accept money orders but Edrie is going to help me set up a paypal account of my own. If you would like to make a donation please email me at pat2202002@yahoo.com I'm sure most of you know Edrie and she has been so kind to help me with this.
I am literally begging you, please help me keep my grandson. I have been through enough tragedy. There is always the possibility that we may lose but I have to be able to tell my grandson we put up a good fight. My daughter is a wonderful mother and due to her previous job through a temp service has got to be a stay at home Mom a lot of the time. She is a good woman, she does not drink, do drugs, run around in bars, she is a homebody content to stay at home with her son and watch Thomas the Train movies over and over again. I am a wonderful Nana who has a unique bond with my grandson. He loves for me to read to at night before he goes to bed and he tells me in the sweetest little voice, "Goodnight Nana, see you in the morning, I love you" and this is after we say our prayers and we always include Paw Paw. I can't stress enough how much I need my Kos family to help me. Will you?
