Update on GoFundMe Account

I find it's necessary to keep those who are donating in the loop of where my legal expenses stand, and exactly where every cent of your generous donations to my GoFundMe is going.

By the way... thank you SO much to everyone who has donated since my last thank you post a couple of months ago. You have given me a kind of support that I wouldn't have without you. You are keeping the court litigation open, and securing a chance at the girls being heard through the "proper channels." I feel that if Syd and Dani were here right now, they would thank each one of you.

Considering my current balance that is due to Esplin Weight right now for work they've already completed is $2,039.75, it should be clear that your donations are 100% going toward my ongoing legal fees. 

A side note: if my currently filed appeal is successful, then I will need to refill my account at Esplin Weight with the $10,000 you can see on my bill for future legal costs that will be incurred in fighting the case (that should never have been dismissed in the first place). I still need donations to pay my attorneys to help me help my sisters find safe asylum through proper legal channels. Thank you so much for your help!
