Announcing the Campaign to Save an Abused Child from Depths of Despair

Donate to a mother fighting for full custody to save her daughter from her abuser’s family

Woodbridge, VA -- May 22, 2015 -- Cat Bailey, loving mother to a beautiful daughter, announces her campaign to fund the process to petition for full custody and save her child from a traumatic abuse situation.

When Cat’s daughter was just 6 years old, she suffered through a situation in which she was molested by a close member of her father’s family. Despite an investigation involving both local police and Child Protective Services, the accusation was deemed unfounded and the predator was never punished for the crime. What’s worse, the child has now repeatedly been forced to spend time with this family member as her father’s family refuses to believe that she was abused.

Cat’s daughter is now being seen by multiple therapists and  child development evaluators, who have diagnosed her as having a debilitating case of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, caused by the abuse and the subsequent forced visitations with the accused family member. Meanwhile, the child is forced to spend entire summers with her father’s family, under the current court order.

Cat is now seeking the help of the crowdfund community to help her pay for both the psychiatric care for her daughter as well as court costs and lawyer fees to fight her daughter’s father for full custody. Cat is seeking at least $50,000 to cover these costs as well as any incidental costs that come along with this journey. Your donations can go a long way towards helping an abused child stay with her mother and out of harm’s way.

Announcing the Campaign to Help a Selfless Veteran Fund his College Education

Help a Veteran Get His Teaching License

Plainfield, NJ -- March 30, 2015 -- Darnell Knight, military veteran and college student, announces the campaign to seek funding to cover the cost of finishing his teaching degree and getting his teaching license.

Darnell has suffered a great deal in his life. Being raised by his grandparents in a less than safe neighborhood, Darnell saw his share of hardship, death and despair. Despite successfully fighting his way through high school and making it into college, Darnell suffered a major car accident that left him with a traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury that both required significant rehabilitation and recovery efforts before he was able to return to his regular life. With all of these setbacks Darnell was still not deterred, and not only finished with his Bachelor’s Degree, but continued on to pursue his Master’s Degree in education.

This is where things took a turn for the worse. Due to an error created by his college’s new accounting system, suddenly Darnell found himself with a past due balance of $2,500, none of which he had in cash or credit to pay back. Although he attempted to work out a payment plan or use the GI bill (military benefits that can be used towards college credits), he was told he had to pay his balance in full or risk being disenrolled mid-semester. At the same time, he was also diagnosed with worrisome masses on his thyroid that his doctors expressed great concern over. On top of all this, a job he truly cared about, working as a youth counselor, ended suddenly and he was not offered a full-time position. Darnell spent the following year nearly homeless and destitute, begging for friends and family to put him up for a few nights on their couches before moving on.

Luckily for Darnell, he has spent the last 6 months slowly paying back some of his debt through a call center operator position, where he has done very well and has enjoyed his work. He has finally been able to pay off the past due amount and is able to re-enroll in college to complete his degree.

Darnell is seeking funding in the amount of $50,000 to cover his bills as well as the tuition that will not be covered by the remaining 7 months of his GI bill benefits. Darnell’s goal is to complete his education and apply for his teaching license, giving him the opportunity to work with at-risk youth at a larger capacity that he had been able to as a youth counselor.

Please considering donating to help a military veteran reach his dreams after years of hardship.
