Hi everyone,
Case Update:
We are still being delayed by opposing council in setting a hearing for the custody case, so I have no update on that right now. The paternity hearing is still set for March 1st. My ex and her council are attempting to delay that hearing as well, but hopefully it will happen as planned. They also filed a motion opposing my paternity case.
Additionally, a motion has been filed to seal the case, and effectively silence me. We are certainly going to fight this effort. This is not my website, so it may remain up with simply this blog, the only part of the site I have access to, disappearing or changing hands if the motion to eliminate my right to speak is won.
Benefit Update:
In "unrelated" news, the benefit that Tranzcend threw this past weekend was a fabulous success. There was so much love and support in the room. Many people feel passionately about this issue as they have experienced the same thing themselves. There was $1000 raised directly from the show, with the funds from gift certificate purchases not having been counted yet. As the gift certificates are an on-going fundraiser, I will not have numbers for that for a while.
This case just keeps getting more complex. Please donate if you can. Come to the events people are producing and promoting. Before you hand your card over at Eden, buy a gift certificate! You spend the same amount, but money goes to the fund.
I am so grateful for all of the people who have stepped up, donated what they can, and taken a stand: friends, family, and total strangers. I feel a little like I fell down the rabbit hole with everything being upside down and sideways, but my focus has not, and will not, change. I just need your help to get there.
If you cannot donate, which I clearly can understand, please spread the word. The more people that know about my son and I, the more opportunities there are for assistance. And nobody should ever be as naive as I was - they need to know what can happen.
This upcoming Sunday, the 24th, is the benefit Sam Hozdulick is having at Eden. Please come have brunch - with a gift certificate!
