@familyprotection) Raising Legal Defense Funds for @mayaabb & Her Child
Today, I stumbled across a call-to-action post for a 'fund raising' initiative by @familyprotection that I previously had not been aware of.
The post came from @msp-waves ... Pushing Hard for a Mother in Need
It makes reference to @mayaabb 's battle in the Canadian courts for the return of her little girl, of which all the details I'm not informed enough to provide, but I'll keep on searching for more information to post here when I find out.
Here's a quote from the article I'm referencing:
In case you haven't heard, @mayaabb has been battling the Canadian courts to regain custody of her 10 year old daughter, despite having custody of her 2 boys. Her case has now gone all the way the B.C. Supreme Court, and she desperately needs funds to retain a lawyer. Even while being optimistic about steem prices in the following weeks, the amount raised still falls short of the $7000 CAD goal.
The request for donations is to help raise funds for attorney fees, court costs etc. which are being held in a special wallet by @familyprotection to be released as necessary.
Here's what FP is passing along (copied below) to aid you in your desire to help:
How to Help
- Send SBD or STEEM to @familyprotection using memo MSPW Maya.
- @familyprotection will hold a trust fund for Maya's case in their Steemit savings account.
- Upon receipt of sufficient funds at a hopefully good STEEM/CAD price, the funds will be released to pay the law firm.
- Should the case not proceed for any reason, the funds donated will be used to help other families in need.
ALSO
Don't have anything to donate? Still want to help causes like this and others? Have a look around the Family Protection Discord server and get in touch with the lovely @canadian-coconut.
Any amount of steem or SBD that you can spare at this time for this worthy cause should be sent to Family Protection...'NOT' to me...I'm just here to help spread the message with this post. Re-steeming this post, msp-waves or one of Family Protections announcements is another way to help raise funds for the services they provide, right here on the steemit blockchain.
Note: Any and all upvotes on this post will be sent to @familyprotection 's wallet for Maya's fight.
Thanks for reading. Have a happy day.
This post was upvoted and resteemed by @thethreehugs. Thank you for your support of @familyprotection.
Thanks for the info @thethreehugs . I up-vote #familyprotection's 'comment' placements on posts they reward on a fairly regular basis, and have made past donations to their wallet. Though my VP is 'tiny' (mostly because I've 'paid forward' most of my earnings) I 'help' in whatever way possible.
It is my hope that 'this' post helps get more 'direct' donations to their wallet from like minded people.
Oh; by the way my pledge to donate any profits from this post to @familyprotection still stands. I already sent a small amount the other day, and boosted the total through smartmarket which I'll include in the donation after payout :~)
You have a 'happy' day.
You are most welcome.
