When you have two full-time jobs and have to read Civil Procedure Rules 80B & 80C to be your own lawyer because you’re too small to afford to fight the GIANT Attorney General’s office that represents DHHS… sometimes meeting a filing deadline looks like a handwritten, humiliating paper… but there’s hope in this.

Don’t be scared into not daring to take on the Giant.

Relate to your own inner David vs. Goliath and fight for the children. 🙏🏻💪🏻

The power of the handwritten pen—this document was filed minutes before the deadline, and it worked. ☺️
