Many of you are also readers of BigCountryExpat and know the struggle of his and his wife's efforts to regain custody of their granddaughter and save her from an extremely abusive situation.
Unfortunately, this doesn't come cheap as myself and my ex found out when we went through the same thing with our granddaughter 30 years ago.
There are visits to doctors to document the physical signs of abuse, visits to other doctors for evidence of mental abuse, attorney fees and even more attorney fees. Then there's the fact that BCE and his wife live several hundred miles from the Judge who has jurisdiction which means travel expenses including gas, meals and lodging for each and every court appearance, and you know there will be many.
BCE has asked for our help, and that's a hard, hard thing for a man to do. He's set up a GiveSendGo account and for those of us that don't know the whole heartbreaking story, he's laid it out for us.
Please go there, read the story, and send him a few bucks. This is one thing we can do that will make a difference in a child's life.
Please do NOT send money to me to send to him. The reason being, at the end of the year Paypal is going to generate a 1099 for me regardless of me passing the funds on to BCE and I'll have to pay taxes on it, then the crowdfunding site is going to shoot a 1099 to Big Country and he'll pay taxes on it too, ensuring the fucking government gets a double helping from the same donation. Fuck Joe Biden. Fuck the IRS.
Without any further ado, here's the story from BCE:
*
Adriana Grace came into this world on October 26, 2020 in Kingsport Tennessee. She's a beautiful and inquisitive 22 month old, who means the world to her Gigi and Papi. Unfortunately, her parents are completely incapable, if not downright dangerous. Her birth father/donor she was born to is an abusive person, small minded, petty and viscous. He suffers from 'small man syndrome' (4'11-5ft only) and enjoys hurting smaller and weaker people, especially women and children. He's also someone who has previously lost custody of her older sister Kylie, as well as his child from a previous relationship. He has a slew of arrests for Domestic Violence, (8 arrests, one felony conviction) and her Mother, my step-daughter, Emily suffers from extremely well documented mental health issues from the age of 5 until present day, never mind that she's lazy, entitled and incapable of any sort of basic human decency. Needless to say, they should NOT be raising this child.
