I found my purpose when I gave birth to my daughter, Fiona Rain. It was the best day of my entire life. Being a mother gave me everything that I ever needed. Sadly this reign only lasted 2 years. I had full custody of my baby, while my daughter's father lived in Connecticut. It was the summer of 2017, when I got a phone call from him. He was asking if he could bring Fiona to Connecticut for 6 weeks during the summer. I said "Absolutely, you're her father", and we started the proceedings. I will never forget the day that him and his mother came to my parents house on that July morning to pick up Fiona. His mother looked me in the eye and told me, "You have nothing to worry about Dana, you will see your daughter soon". But that was the very last day that I did see my daughter. In a weeks time, I received an emergency custody order in the mail, stating that Fiona could not leave the state of Connecticut. At that time I dove into what I can only describe as a "drug-induced coma" until February 2020, when I decided to go to inpatient treatment and get help. Things have not been perfect, to say the least- since that day in February, but I can fully and whole-heartedly say that I have done everything in my power to get my life on track and to start to set goals to retrieve my ultimate prize, to see my daughter again. I feel so embarrassed and very insecure to create this *Spotfund account, but I feel that it is the right thing to do at this time, while in the midst of this pandemic, I do NOT have the required funds. Thank you, for even taking the time to read my story, and THANK YOU, ahead of time for your generous donation. I hope to see my daughter soon, and when the time comes, I promise to post MANY pictures!! 💗🙏 I truly love you all.
