Justice 4 Alesha

On July 24, 2015, Tiffany Knepper received a text message from her daughters phone that read, “Mom, if I make it home, I need you. I’m scared,”. Her daughter, Alesha Bell was a beautiful 18 year old young woman who went missing the night before.

After seaching for over a month, a horrible discovery was made when police raided the home of James Brooks. Currently Mr. Brooks’ charges included abuse of a corpse, tampering with evidence, drug trafficking and weapons violations.

Alesha’s death has been ruled a homicide, but the county corner has said that it could take a significant amount of time to determine the cause of death.

We are raising funds to ensure Alesha Bell’s family receives justice. All net proceeds received will be donated directly to Alesah’s mom, Tiffany.

15 Years is too long!

McKinley "Mac" Phipps has been in jail for 15 years on a charge he is innocent of. His attorney, Buddy Spell recently spoke out about the case in an interview on the Huffington Post.

Despite the facts that another man confessed to the crime, and the Prosecuting office had no physical evidence, Mac was convicted and sentenced to 30 years in prison by an all white jury.  

We are raising funds to aid in Mr. Spell's attempts to gain Justice for Mac. All net proceeds of funds raised will be donated to Mr. Spell for his legal fees in this case.

What Did Jay Z Know? Lawyer Induced Nightmare!

It reads like a legal nightmare. An attorney changed who the “Petitioner” in a case was, without his client’s consent. Also, to make it just a bit more complicated, it involves a young man who is the alleged son of famous rapper, Jay Z (AKA Shawn Carter).

This situation started in 2011 when Lillie Coley became the legal guardian of Rymir Satterthwaite. Shawn Carter and Rymir’s mother, Wanda Satterthwaite, had a romantic affair in the early 90’s. Rymir and his God Mother Lille have been entangled in a paternity fight for the last five years attempting to prove that Shawn Carter is his father.  Shawn Carter has successfully dodged the paternity test thus far.

However, that is not what this case is about. This case takes all of those complications and adds salt to the wound with an unethical attorney hired originally by Ms. Coley (See original retainer agreement below) Nowhere on the retainer agreement will you find Rymir’s mothers name, Wanda Satterthwaite, as she was hospitalized and fighting for her life. The attorney never spoke to Ms. Satterthwaite, in fact the only communication between the two was a document signed from the hospital room, stating she was in fact incompetent to sign documents since she was recovering from a medicated coma.

When the Petition was finally filed, the Petitioner listed on the documents was not Coley but instead, Satterthwaite. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is addressing the possible unethical movements of the attorney and Rymir, with Ms. Coley, is now asking for your help.

Rymir, with Ms. Coley, is asking for donations and help spreading the word about this campaign; for the legal fees for her case against the attorney who removed her as the Petitioner which caused continuous violations to occur for her and Rymir in NJ.  She has already obtained counsel who will begin working on this lawsuit as soon as their retainer is paid.

This Case is not about paternity but having a fair due process in the court of law.

** This account is the only authorized account for Lillie Coley and Rymir Satterthwaite.  Any and all other fund pages are not legally authorized. **

**Documents attached are the original retainer agreement, a filing with Ms. Cooley as the Petitioner, and a filing with Ms. Satterthwaite as the Petitioner.

#FreeSarah

y sister Sarah who is 19, is being charged and held on a $75000 bail. I cannot go too much into the case as it is in the works of being investigated but she is the less guilty of the 3 people involved and the state of Arizona is making it impossible to afford to get her out. My sister was targeted and preyed on for being a young girl and what was supposed to be a fun weekend with "friends" turned into her now being in jail. We just want to get her out so she can be home with the family and we can fight it. 

Sarah has been in jail for 2 months now and I have started this to assist my parents with the $7,500 dollars (10%)  that we need to bail her out and get her back home to New Mexico. We are about 2-3,000 Dollars short of the $7,500 as of now. 

Both my parents have been ill and unable to really work and have given every last penny they have to my sisters situation for lawyers and extra expenses of jail. In a world already hard to survive in, they are really struggling to keep afloat with bills and other out of pocket expenses needed for this situation.

I am reaching out to my community some more for a little bit of help. My sister is a sweetheart and has such a bright future ahead of her & My parents are good people with big hearts who have helped others in need through out the years. This situation has been a lot of stress and I just want to do what I can to help in any way.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and even if no money can be be spared we are so thankful for you all and appreciate the good thoughts and prayers.

Love,
THE VALENCIA FAMILY

Bring Zoe Home

Hello Everyone.

My name is Nathan Rhyne. My daughter Zoe is 13 years old. On August 30th 2015 her mother was ordered by the court to visit Zoe every 2 weeks and the courts would help pay for her travel costs. In 2 years her mother had visited Zoe only 2 times. She has never sent birthday gifts or Christmas cards.

Chantale Desrochers has a Warrant for her arrest in the State of New Jersey. Her last known whereabouts are Ottawa, Ontario Canada. 

I am seeking your help to hire an international attorney to bring Zoe home.  Her mother has a history of drug abuse, and domestic violence with her para mores. Zoe has been exposed to crack cocaine use in the home, domestic violence, verbal and physical abuse, neglect, and has even spent 6 years in a foster home due to her mothers neglect.

In 2013 i was given custody of Zoe from her mother who abandoned her with a goodbye letter at my doorstep. (see attached)

Chantale was ordered not to leave the state of NJ with Zoe by Judgde Ospino in the Hudson county family court for fears that this incident would happen.

I have hundreds of pages of documented abuse and neglect over time. My daughter is in full time counseling for all the things she has been put through by her mother.

I have never asked for child support, or restricted contact between Zoe and her mother. She is doing so well in school and becoming such a wonderful young woman.

Please help, anything will do. Unfortunately being a man it is much more difficult to recover a child taken from you as the support systems are all designated for battered and abused women. it is much more difficult for anyone to assist me pro bono so i have been doing everything i can Pro Se.  

No one is safe, not even in the police parking lot!

Early Sunday 9/21/15 morning, Lisa was driving home from a wedding. She felt unsafe because she had a few drinks but was scared to stop on the side of the road. She thought the safest place would be in the police department parking lot, so she parked at the Homestead Florida police station. Officers soon arrived. They administered roadside tests because she had the car keys in her possession and that meant she had active control of the car, in other words, if she wanted to, she could have driven while drunk. They didn't care that she voluntarily parked there because she didn't want to drive. They  arrested her. The Homestead officer then asked her to sign a consent to take the breathalyzer test and Miranda form. She told them she was learning disabled and didn't understand what the paper said, she needed it explained to her. Instead of advising her about the documents, the officers told her to "phone a friend" and call her husband. Unfortunately, I (her husband) was home asleep. She was afraid to sign it and told the officers that. Their reply  was "no problem, we're just gonna put that you refuse." Then they searched her. My prescription of Percocet was in the car. Even though our last names are the same and she told them I was her husband, they impounded my medication and charged her with felony possession. Lisa sits in jail, waiting for her court date, all because she thought she would be safe in the police department parking lot. What is this world coming to? We are waiting for my retirement to be processed and currently have NO income. Even though she was arrested for both charges at the same time, she has 2 cases to deal with. We must hire 2 lawyers, pay 2 sets of court fees and fines, and try to get 2 not guilty verdicts! If you see the injustice here, please donate whatever you can. The average DUI case in 2015 cost about $15,000.00, and there's no telling what the drug case will cost us, probably more. Please help us. Don't let the police make a victim of a young woman who went to them for safety. Spread the word if you think this is WRONG!

Sue the Commission on Presidential Debates

More than half of Americans now say they no longer identify with either of the two parties that control our federal government.  So, shouldn’t our nationally televised “Official Debates” include other parties? 

Have you ever wondered why they don’t?

It’s because the official-sounding and acting Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) is, in reality, a private organization created in 1987 by the Republican and Democratic parties.  It is funded by special interests whose goal is to protect the status quo, so it is no surprise that the Debate Commission has adopted “rules” that make it virtually impossible for an independent or third-party candidate to ever participate in the only nationally televised Presidential Debates.

In 2012, FOUR candidates achieved the ballot access needed to be mathematically able to win the election but ONLY TWO were on the “Official Debates” stage – the Democrat and the Republican.   Gary Johnson, the Libertarian nominee and Jill Stein, the Green Party nominee were excluded from the 2012 Debates.

Just as they had done since 2000, the Commission on Presidential Debates used arbitrarily selected polls to determine participation in the 2012 debates.  The pollsters and media focused on the Democratic and Republican candidates to the extent that most pre-election polls didn't even include other candidates.  Many people assumed the other two ballot-qualified candidates “couldn’t win the election” because they were excluded from the polls – and subsequently, the debates.  But they COULD WIN. . 

Polling criteria is neither a necessary nor unbiased method for determining Presidential Debate inclusion.  Why should the Presidential Debate stage exclude anyone who can win the Electoral College vote?   

Historically, the maximum number of candidates in the US who achieved enough ballot access to win the Electoral College vote was seven.  The Republican debates had more participants than that in 2015 and in previous elections.

Join the fight and support the excluded 2012 candidates - Jill Stein, Gary Johnson, their campaigns, the Green and the Libertarian parties to fight for Fair Debates for ALL candidates of the future.  This lawsuit would not be possible without their sacrifices and your support.  Your contribution to help fund the lawsuit against the Commission on Presidential Debates could be the single most important contribution YOU can make to our future in the United States of America.  Things will never change until we have a chance to hear fresh perspectives from other viable parties.  

Let them debate!

The case of the never-ending stalker

I am having issues dealing with a stalker, and having even bigger issues because the police are not taking it seriously enough. He uses social media to stalk people, threaten their loved ones, jobs, etc. This is his second time stalking me in 6 years, but he has now escalated to threatening my family, resulting in two incidents in 1 week at their home.

So far, he has only been arrested for trespassing, which of course is an insignificant charge.  The very same weekend he pulled a gun in broad daylight in NYC, and then later was released because he got rid of the gun before police searched him.

I am looking to raise money to pay a lawyer to make sure my family is protected. I need a professional to coordinate between the police where I live and the police where my parents live, and to make sure that we are all as safe as possible. So far the NYPD and police in my parents small town are being less than helpful by saying his online threats are freedom of speech, and not taking into consideration that he is in actuality, a full time stalker, and this problem will continue for the rest of my life unless I do something about it. I also fear the police will not take it seriously until one of us gets hurt/killed, and that they are more concerned with being sued for false arrest than for the facts at hand.

Justice for my husband and myself

I've been married for 15 years and I loved my husband deeply. However, my husband was a cheater. He abandoned the marriage and I filed for divorce. Due to an unfortunate situation, he had a life changing stroke.

When I found out, I called my attorney and canceled the divorce because after 15 years I still love this man. The in-laws told the hospital that we were legally separated and that he had a new wife to be, without any proof. After I spoke with the Dr., the hospital told me that no matter where I was I had medical power of attorney. They asked did I want to give up that right, and I said no.

My husband was living in Cleveland, Ohio, and I was in Florida. I left Florida to go to Ohio, only to find out that my in-laws have moved my husband, and I cannot find where they moved him. The family has moved him fromthe nursing home and I don't know where he is. The mother states he wanted to live with his brother but my husband has told everyone that he didn't want to live with his siblings or mother again.  I am searching for help to pay for attorneys to bring Justice to the traditional marriage vows.

Thank u for your Support

God’s Blessing to u all

Vulture capitalists picking sons corpse

Under guidance from his attorneys, my son Dennis assigned the rights to his inventions to his company, which was then sold to investors.  Today the investors, Dave and Joe Zewe, take enormous profits from the business of selling my son’s inventions and pay him nothing for his intellectual property. His inventions are brilliant, and sold in over 10 countries around the world, yet he receives nothing for this.  Technically he owns 20% of the company, but after CEO salary and bonus are paid, nothing is leftover. My son worked for over 8 years on his startup company, I watched as he poured everything he had into it, and I helped him along the way.  We trusted his attorneys to protect him and his investors to do the right thing and fairly compensate him for his valuable ideas, but so far they have taken everything and left him with nothing.

Sign our pledge if you agree Dennis should be compensated by a fair royalty for the contribution of his inventions to the company.

Protect Against Domestic Violence

My son's father has always had anger issues and once I got pregnant things started getting worse. His family started abusing me emotionally, they scared me and made all kinds of threats towards me, and then he started making threats to kill my family and take my son.

After I had my son, I lived with him for a few weeks and he did well, but right around the third week things got out of control. He started threatening me more, he pinned me against a wall, he would scream in my face for hours all while my son was in my arms crying. He wouldn't stop and so one night he said he was going to Louisiana for the weekend and while he was gone I packed my stuff and left.

I tried to get things done with the attorney general but he filed in a different county, denied paternity, and has wasted time so I had to get an attorney to help so he couldn't take my son. Because he has been going about things, the way he has, it has cost me so much money and I can't work right now due to medical problems.

I really need help paying for the rest of the attorney fees. I would appreciate any help!

Cease and Desist Was Ignored!

Mike Wratten is the Owner of a small American business named Shellback Tactical. Mike also spent 18 years as a police officer.  This is a business that sells tactical and safety equipment for the men and women that serve our GREAT NATION, whether in military or law enforcement capacity. Mike created a successful brand and business on his own. Mike was led into an agreement by a trusted friend and mentor with a big business,  and joined into an agreement. After 1 year Mike and his business was betrayed by the friend, mentor and the other business by having the whole agreement breached. Mike was cut off from all financial aspects of the business and left to start over virtually from scratch with Shellback Tactical. Mike has a family to support and has been cut off from any income.

This company did this, because it advised that Shellback Tactical was not making money, whish was false. The company that supposedly did not have money to honor the contract, all of a sudden still did have funds to continue to make Mikes tradmarked Shellback products and continue to sell to other companies, cutting Mike out and not compensating him from any profits.

Mike sent a Cease and Desist Letter to this company that was ignored. They did not stop. Their response was to sue Mike Wratten, and Shellback Tactical. This company sees Mike and his company as a small fish that they can take advantage of. This big business has no respect for the small business owner and is using their big money to squash a Small American Business Owner.

On a personal note, I am Tim Wratten, Mike’s brother, and I created this campaign.  I have watched my brother build this business from nothing over a 12-year period.  It is his goal to produce products that keep our law enforcement and military safe.  WE come from a family of Law Enforcement/Military and believe in the American Dream.  Please help with any amount so Mike can defend himself and his Small American Business against this bully.  Thank you.

If you are unable to donate, please share this information wherever you can. That would also help. The name of the company was not listed for fear of retaliation from this company. To learn more about this case and issue just search on the internet Shellback Tactical Cease and Desist and it will come up there on a Scribd.com document.

Education First

I am a young man with a heart of gold. My father died when I was young. Before his death, I promised I would do big things in this world and attain a career with dignity and follow my dreams. Even though my Father was gone, I knew he would be watching me…no matter what.

That dream was law school. I worked tirelessly for three (3) years to get into law school. When I was accepted, I was elated. Well, I was academically dismissed at the end of my first year. I missed the cut off by .003 GPA points. My school would not let me take a make-up exam. They forbid me from appealing my grade. They discriminated against me and made there own rules. 

I want to fight this. I want to fight this wrongful dismissal. I want to keep my promise to my father. 

Any donation would help. I promise you now, that God, for whatever definition of God is to you, will pay you back. And I’ll pay you back with my fight for justice. Thank you so much for your time and your heart.

Justice for Josiah

A 3-year-old has lost his life, a mother has lost her son and a family has lost their star. The child lost his life at the hands of one person; that one person who was always supposed to protect his son. On September 5, 2015 near Memphis, TN, 3-year-old Josiah was transported to the hospital and pronounced dead.

Josiah's father has been charged with first degree murder, child abuse, and child neglect resulting in death. According to an affidavit during the investigation, the father Terry Patterson, admitted to beating the child with his fists and with a belt, then leaving him alone on the couch to go and pick up his girlfriend. It wasn't until the next day Patterson and his girlfriend finally decided to call for help.

Josiah's mother, Kerra Brown, had been entangled in a bitter custody battle since the Josiah was 8 months old. Despite documented abuse, Patterson was granted joint custody of the child. It was during his first week-long visit with the child that Patterson got upset at Josiah for spitting food on his couch, and took out his adult size range and anger on the child to the point where family members have said they could not hold an open casket funeral due to the condition of the child's body.

How can this happen? Is our system that incredibly broken? Kerra Brown spent two years fighting in court, doing it the right way to keep her son safe. She had documented evidence of police reports and DCS reports. At the infant stage of only 8 months old, Josiah was brutally beaten. Pictures were given to the police department and DCS was called, yet no charges were filed against Patterson. Brown even had previous documents of Patterson's felony record, which includes being a sex offender. Despite all of that evidence and documented proof, on August 27, a judge ordered Brown had to allow her baby boy to spend 26 weeks a year with his abusive father; within a few short days, that baby boy was gone forever.

Josiah's family wants justice. "I don't want to look on the news and hear another parent saying the same thing I have said", said Brown. The family doesn't just want justice for Josiah, they also want justice for all children that have died from abusive situations. Funded Justice , a crowd-funding platform specifically for raising funds for legal issues, has started a funding campaign for the family of Josiah. The goal is to raise enough funds to help find justice for Josiah. The hashtag #JusticeForJoJo is gaining popularity as news of this horrible situation spreads.

The biggest question I have is how does our system allow this to happen? Is it lack of funding? Is it lack of empathy from DCS officials and police upon receiving the calls? Too many times, I have seen a good parent put through the ringer of DCS investigations. DCS will choose to investigate one case but then use the slide of hand to say they didn't have time to investigate the important and valid cases. This happens most with children who understand the system and who know how to cry wolf. The child will go to school and fake an injury or make a statement that forces the school to investigate. Time and resources go into those cases all the while real abuse cases, like Josiah, are swept under the rug until someone gets around to it. Unfortunately, this time it was entirely too late.

I wish I had the answer to make sure this doesn't happen again. If in fact Patterson is guilty as he states in his affidavit, I hope he spends at least a lifetime behind bars thinking about the life he took.

My heart absolutely aches for Josiah's family. No parent should ever have to bury his or her child. It could be one of the most unnatural things a parent could have to do.

Justice for Derrick

My name is Doris; I am the voice for my son (Derrick) in these last moments to fight for his freedom. Even though he is an adult, he will always be my child. He is the youngest of three and who would have ever thought that life as he had known it to be would change in the blink of an eye.

From a very young age, we teach our children to protect one another. That is a choice that my son made in October 2003. Since then it has been a long road and he has been dealing with depression but I cannot allow my son to give up.  We’ve all heard the term “Life is what you make of it”. Unfortunately, that was not an option. The Law as it was written then did not apply to his case.

The mere fact that he was protecting himself and his family was not enough for the Courts. The “Stand your ground law” was not passed until years later. Someone else’s negligence and their actions changed his life.

As a loving parent and with the support of family we were able to get legal representation in the beginning. We exhausted all finances and resources to just end up with an Attorney that failed at his job. Derrick was on house arrest for almost four years before his trial began. Within those years he was offered a 5 year plea if he admitted to being guilty of his charges. My son has always shown a tremendous amount of strength and courage, and he was just certain that he would be found “not guilty” by a Jury.

Again, his Attorney failed him. He was instructed by his Attorney not to take the stand. No witnesses were called on behalf of my son even though the State had subpoenaed several witnesses.  For better or worse, we all face a variety of tests in our lives, and I’m confident that with God on our side this too shall pass. There is a light at the end of this dark tunnel. His children need him and we are asking for much needed help. May God continue to bless us and guide our steps.

Justice For JoJo

It is unthinkable. After trying everything in her power to protect her son, a nasty custody battle, reports of abuse to police and department of child services, Kerra Brown has lost her three year old son. 

Josiah was the life of the party according to his family members. On September 5, Josiah's life was taken, his father is now in jail without bond, accused of the crimes of first degree murder, child abuse and child neglect. 

We are helping to raise money for Josiah's family, to help in any legal pursuits to find justice for JoJo. All net proceeds of this campaign will go directly to Kerra Brown.

In Concert Night of 100 Stars: Sons of the Beatles

I am creator and executive producer for a TV show "In Concert Night of 100 Stars" w/sons of the Beatles: Sean, Dhani, Zak, James, Jason....I need to make a pitch to The Walt Disney Company's ABC-TV unit for a 2 day show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. I need to make a presentation, prepared by lawyers, to go through all the proper channels, to secure a deal. I need a deposit for the 2 day event at Staples Center to reserve the dates for the event, sometime in late September, 2015. As creator of my high school alma mater's 1976 benefit, "Hope for Ignatius," with Bob Hope, Dyan Cannon, and Andy Williams, which drew a crowd of 4,000 at Chicago's Auditorium Theater on December 18, 1976, raising $258,000 ($1,073,425.10 in 2014 dollars) for St. Ignatius College Prep, I want to present to you, and Kickstarter.com, a proposal for a rock concert music show in a modern day revival of ABC's Wide World of Entertainment, "In Concert Night of 100 Stars" featuring the sons of the Beatles, Sean Lennon, Dhani Harrison, James McCartney, and Zak Starkey with, you, Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, with a convention of rockers of 100 bands over two days at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. I hope and wish The Walt Disney Company's ABC-TV unit to revive ABC In Concert (aka Late Night Productions) series for this event. At this time, Don E. Branker, the original host of "In Concert" on ABC, 1972-74, on January 13, 2011 has committed and confirmed to the project as a special introductory host (on-air). I am still seeking the participation of Sean Lennon, Dhani Harrison, Zak Starkey, and James McCartney. I was thrilled to hear that James would like to organize a band with these fellows. (At this time, James has asked Dhani, Sean, and Jason Starkey to play with him: See this article about their interests:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-21...) 

I am proposing the concert will be held on two nights at the Staples Center in Los Angeles with tickets sold through Ticketmaster.com. It will be an all-star rock concert which would bring together one to the great groups of musicians for and unforgettable evening of solo performances and once-in-a lifetime jams. What I ask is that you and Kickstarter.com would sponsor the event, on ABC and ABC.com and at the Staples Center in exchange for full and sole commercial rights to the event. 

I am seeking a contract offer from the Walt Disney Company for broadcast rights on the ABC Television Network, along with the commitments and confirmations of Sean, Dhani, Zak and James. Once they have all committed, I will form a California-based production company solely for this event...however all the details, regarding compensation to all of the bands and stage acts and contracts are to be finalized with Disney, parent of ABC-TV for a contracted show picked up by ABC-TV. I want the time slot of 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. Eastern on day one, and 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. on day two with no less than 56 minutes of each and every hour of stage acts and live performances.

LET’S DO THIS!

Sincerely, 

Martin Edward Lewis Martin Lewis Productions Chairman & CEO, International Financier, Inc. 7821 South Rhodes Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60619-3013

How Will They Obtain Justice; Texas Attorney General

Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton recently did something that typically you would not want from an attorney general. He encouraged public employees to turn a blind eye and disobey a Supreme Court decision. He has encouraged and expressed to clerks of the court they can refuse to issue same sex marriage licenses citing that states can use nullification to ignore federal laws.  The lack of ethical balance doesn’t stop there with this attorney general of Texas; he was also recently indicted on felony security charges. According to legal documents, Ken Paxton is accused of luring his friends into buying stock in Servergy, a company he also claimed to invest in. All the while, he was pulling a percentage off the top to line his own pockets. 

Since the attorney general was indicted, three separate attorneys have quit working for him. Paxton has been overly disrespectful to the court and judge overseeing his case; causing further speculation that he is just stalling. 

The real question is how will this court obtain justice?  How will the court find justice for the real victims in this case, the other side according to Obergefell v. Hodges? It is now a law that courts have to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex.  Anything other than that is discrimination according to the new law. 

Since the Supreme Court ruling, several lawsuits have been brought against the clerks of Texas courts for discrimination. One way that people who are involved in discrimination lawsuits are reaching out for help, is through FundedJustice.com.  Funded Justice is a relatively new company that serves as a crowd funding campaign specifically catering to those trying to raise money to fund a legal issue. Funded Justice will not turn away a campaign and believes that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Every person, regardless of the accusation, deserves their day in court and legal representation should not be dependent on financial resources.

Help Grandma Save 2 Amazing Grandkids from Mothers Abuse of Pot Laws

I have been my grandchildren’s primary care giver most of their lives, providing 90% of their support. I have had them with me about the same percentage of time. Mom has always had an issue with pot even before it became legal. My grandchildren are 7 & 3, and were both born with pot in their system, causing a DHS investigation, not once but twice. DHS issued a safety plan giving me the right to take the kids anytime one of the parents was not sober from any substance. The parents have never been sober, and I had them so frequently it was easy to keep a close eye on them.

Four years ago, I had to constantly remove a pipe filled with pot from the hands of my then three-year-old grandchild. My daughter’s house often had a thick cloud of pot smoke lingering even when the children were home. The children’s mother decided to move into the country with her boyfriend who also smokes pot heavily. With their move, I would no longer be able to protect the children.

The seven-year-old longs for a stable and nurturing home and has expressed that she wants to live with me due to the issues with pot lying around. Before my daughter moved, I was documenting the issue by taking pictures of her pipe lying on the sofa in plain sight, every day. One day I happened to catch my three-year-old grandson grab her pipe full of pot and lick it like a sucker because it was laying right beside his toy on the couch.

My daughter is also guilty of animal neglect. She would often leave her dog for days without food and water forcing me to sneak in to feed her. In my opinion if you can’t take care of an innocent animal, how can you try to take care of children? 

I have an uphill battle in front of me as grandparents have very little rights. I need to get custody of my grandchildren and all of the family attorneys require a huge retainer. Legal aid won’t help me and I need help. The new legalized pot laws were not thought out well enough in a situation like this where children are concerned. I am rapidly running out of time. Any donation would be appreciated. Thank you.

Help for an Amazing Mother

While every mother is a Supermom, my best friend, Paty Cortez has reinvented the meaning of Supermom. Whether or not you know her personally, I ask you to please, please, please read her story.

            For the past year, Paty (single mother of three) has been working non-stop to, not only provide the regular necessities for her family, but to earn $37,000 for her son’s court trial. So far, she has earned ALL the money all by herself plus the money needed for everything else in life. Her two daughters are wonderful soccer players, and her eldest daughter recently made the competitive Villa team. Such wonderful news, but with wonderful news come another $650. She paid it. Paty has two full time jobs; working at a Chiropractic office and running her own tax business. As you can see, she is a very busy woman who still fits in the time for soccer, friends, family, church and the weekly drive to the Vista jail.

            Her son’s court trial first occurred early last fall and was thought by many, including lawyers, to be an easy case since there was/is ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE POINTING HIM TO THE ALLEGED CRIME. $10,000 later, the final verdict came in as guilty. Needless to say everyone was shocked. (Even the opposing attorney seemed baffled…) Through tears, Paty clung to her son’s court suit and prayed to God to show her what to do next. Even though she was breaking inside, she knew she had to be strong for her girls. She dried her eyes, and set out to find another lawyer to take over the case. On Thursday, March 12, 2015, the judge officially granted a two-month extension in which to get a solid case together. Great news, but that means another $5,000 - $10,000. Now, on September 2, 2015, another verdict for the inadequate counsel case came back: Denied. There’s a long road ahead for Paty and her family, but I know that all her friends and family are going to be behind her until the very end. I know Paty is a fighter and that she will do whatever it takes to get that money, but as a friend who is unable to do anything about her son’s jail/prison time, I want to help in any way that I can. Paty works SO hard and deserves our support!! I LOVE YOU PATY AND WILL STAND BY YOU ALWAYS!

VivirCinco

After city council woman for East Pueblo decided (her alone) that the Cinco de Mayo parade would be shut down a group of concerned and active residents decided to take on organizing and moved ahead.  This parade has been bringing smiles to kids and adults for over 6 years.  We felt it was the one celebration EAST could embrace especially given the population is 50% Latino.  After many attempts to stop the parade the Chief of Police handed down orders for us to have 40 barricades 6 ft tall by 8 ft wide (Type 3's).  No other parade in the history of parades in Pueblo has had this restriction put on them.  In light of the arbitrary and unrealistic demands, we decided to keep planning and moved ahead without a signed permit.  The day before the parade and after the biased city newspaper ran an article about us having an "illegal parade" all the schools, marching bands, city officials (including our grand marshal) had to refuse to march with us.  In the afternoon on the Friday before a barricade, company came forward to donate the needed barricades.  The permit was issued, but then at 4:50 that day word came from Chief Velez that the barricades "where not big enough" and the permit revoked.  With only 10 minutes left of the final working day we were not able to get help and decided for forge ahead with the parade.  Our permit was placed on the vehicle and the procession began. The Cinco de Mayo parade was a huge hit, with low rider cars giving quite a show.  We had our liability insurance, park permit; free pony rides for kids, free food and plenty for the kids to do.  At the start of the parade 4 pillars of the community joined to lead the procession, making a strong statement for the Eastside.  Since the parade and only after getting the Human Relations Commission involved investigating, the chief has cited me twice for having a parade without a permit and obstructing traffic.  However, that was not enough...he's now cited me 6 times, limited my evidence, and quashed my witnesses.  This is a huge abuse of power and the people of East Pueblo are fighting back.  This case will reveal how poor people are treated with much harsher demands.  I'm not sure why we were targeted but the truth will be told and go on record. Perhaps the chief is friends with councilwoman?  Regardless, a couple weeks ago chief Velez went in front of our City Council meeting to ask for rules to be put in place that he told us were already laws/rules.  I videoed that meeting and inserted documents to prove our case.  With all the restrictions being place on us, we need $2000 to hire a good lawyer to fight for the people.  Please help us fight back.

Wrongly Accused and Unfairly Judged

Please Help these little boys, they miss their Daddy.

He has been wrongly accused of a crime that his attorney has PROOF that he did not commit. He has fought this case from jail for the last year and a half. Unfortunately, the day before trial the DA dismissed all charges due to a lack of evidence. They wanted to stall in order to try to find something to use against him. The DA then refiled the case the same day. Because the DA refiled, our son remains in jail only to restart the whole process over including rehiring his attorney, who has already done an outstanding job.

This has become a financial strain on our family. However, Anthony is innocent, and has every right to prove it. We just need a little help in order to keep this attorney. Anything is greatly appreciated. Please help him to return home to his two small amazing children and his loving fiancé, where he belongs.

Anthony is a loving father, brother, son, fiancé, and friend to many people. He is a very hard worker that provides for his family. We feel that his civil rights have been violated and he has been unfairly judged!

Thank You Very Much for taking the timeout to read this. No matter how small the donation is, it will be very huge to us. God Bless

Seeking Custody of my 3 Grandsons

My daughter died suddenly Sept. 16, 2013.  She left behind three boys and a mess. The day she died, she had the intentions of filing for divorce.  I have those papers, signed by her, ready to go.  Her 'husband' is not a good person.  He has been fired from four jobs for sexual harassment. He has a nasty temper.  He has a history of bullying my grandsons.  The very evening of the day my daughter died, he had a girlfriend there.  He has had a multitude of girls in and out of my grandson’s lives. Maybe that is not a crime but what is, is the way he treats the boys and DOES NOT care for them UNLESS someone is watching. I have 125 pictures of living conditions that in any other state or county the boys would have been removed from his clutches. I have witnesses to things he has done or said. I have documentation. What I don't have is the finances for an attorney to get custody of my grandsons. 

Currently, even though I have grandparent’s rights, he is denying my seeing the boys or talking to the boys.  I have ALWAYS been involved with the boy’s lives. Since my oldest grandson was born, I have taken them to church.  Had my daughter lived I would be helping her raise her sons. She stated in her divorce papers that she did not want him to have unsupervised visitation with the boys because of his sexual addiction and his anger issues.  He does not work; hasn't worked in nearly 3 years. Without the boys, he would be back in his mother's house.  He is living off the boys. 

Yes, CPS has been involved but they turn a blind eye.  If we lived in a different state or county, the boys would have been removed from his custody. 

So I am asking, not begging, for the public's help in raising funds for an attorney.  He has had legal aid tied up.  Legal aid will not represent different sides in any case.   So please, please help me fund an attorney.   Get these boys away from a 'man' my daughter didn't want them near.  His influence in their young lives needs to end.  

Thank You,

Sincerely,

A Loving Yaya
