Help Me Get My Son Back

My Boys My Heart and Soul

To whom ever this letter reaches, I hope God will lay it on your heart to help me, I have been going through a custody battle with my ex-husband and his family for 2 years over my 7 year old son Zyon
My ex-husbands family has money and they have used it to drag me through the mud and this past July,the Judge gave custody to my ex, I have been trying for 2 years to get the Judge to see that my ex and his family have told nothing but lies to get to this point,but to no avail.

I have an attorney, Kim Staron in San Diego, who has been helping me try to get my son back. I had to hire her because I could not afford to stay in San Diego after my ex left me in debt. He moved back with his mother in Arizona. They hired an attorney and began this battle to take my son.

I had to move to Texas with my 2 boys and stay with my mother to get back on my feet. It took me a year to do so but with the grace of God, I have done so.

I have a place for me and my boys but I lost custody of my baby. Times have gotten tough these past few months. I have been trying to help my mother financially though I didn't have much to began with.

I lost my job recently so I have had to rob Peter to pay Paul. I am making a little money by selling candy flower bouquets but I can't afford to pay my attorney so she wrote me to say she is quitting my case for lack of payment.

I can't go to San Diego to fight my case and I will surely loose my son. This situation has caused me and my oldest son such heartache. My oldest son is 16 and he has drawn into himself since loosing his little brother.

Most of all, Zyon cries everytime we talk to him asking me to let him come home. It is killing me inside because I am "Mommie" and I can't bring my baby home. He thinks I don't want him to come home because I can't go get him. It hurts so bad. I just want to die.

This may not be a story that will prompt many people to help me but if I could just pay my attorney something it would be a blessing. I am a great mother. I don't do drugs. I work very hard to take care of my family. I am a giver and if someone asks something of me, if I have it to give,I will.

I lost custody of my son because my ex lied about his phone visitation. I have produced the phone records and my attorney is trying to get the Judge to set a hearing to set aside her ruling but if I can't pay Kim she is going to quit.

I begged her to give me some time to come up with some money so I am begging anyone to just help me and my boys. I have tried to get a loan but my credit is shot because of the divorce.

I could pay back a loan in small installments but no one will take a chance on me. My family doesn't have any money to give me so I am alone in this. I have tried to get a pro bono lawyer but there are none.

I am at my lowest. I am begging anyone to help me, help us. No child should have to grow up without their mother. Zyon just turned 7. He has never been away from me this long and I know this seperation is killing his little spirit. I can hear it in his little voice when I talk to him

I never ask for anything for Christmas but this year I am asking God for a miracle to bring my little boy home.

I owe my attorney almost $9,000.00 but she just wants at least $4,000 to stay on. I would like to pay her all the money but I need to pay her something. She has been a Godsend.

To anyone who reads this, may God lay it upon your heart to help me. I will pay if foward.

Thank You and God Bless You.

Sincerely,
Celestina Thomas
