Custody Battle

My husband and I have a blended family. We both have 1 child from past relationships and 1 child together. Their ages are 4, 3, and 3 months. 1 boy and 2 girls. We have a decent sized family home with 2 bedrooms and a large upstairs loft that is split into 2 living spaces. Our oldest daughter, Jayleigh, currently resides with her mother. We have discussed with her mother the idea of Jayleigh moving in with us  on a few occasions. We didn't feel like Jayleigh was receiving the proper care, especially when the mother was living with her at a family members house with no water, lights, or gas for weeks. We gave the mother an opportunity to get our daughter somewhere safe and liveable or we were taking full custody of her. She moved to a different family members home. It has only been 5 months since then and they have moved again to another family members home. Each home she has taken Jayleigh to has had too many people and not enough space. For the last year we have watched our daughter be moved from place to place, living in subpar situations to say the least. Her mother has not tried to get her own place, does not have reliable transportation, has not tried to get her drivers license, and has shown no proof that she is trying to provide her daughter with a stable environment. As a result of the instability, Jayleigh is an emotional wreck a lot of the time and very dependent for a 4 year old (doesn't do anything for herself, wants to be treated like a baby). She, in general, is not cared for how she should be.

Our goal with this account is to receive help with paying our attorney fees. We want our daughter here in a stable environment where she can have her own room, in a smoke-free home (as she has  breathing problems the other family ignores and continues to smoke around her) where she will be regularly bathed, fed, and cared for. We care about the best interest of our daughter and a stable, structured home is what she needs to grow mentally, emotionally, and physically healthy.

We do not have $1500 laying around to make this happen in the next month as planned. We have bills, 2 children, and paying child support on Jayleigh. Anything will help and be very appreciated! God bless everyone and may His will be done here.
