Hello, my name is Ophelia! I am 5 years old (I am the one on the right in the pic and I was 3 at the time) and Mum wants to take me to France forever, so has started legal action to take me away from my dad, family and friends who are all here in London where I was born, I am happy and settled and where I lived all my life.

It is a hugely expensive legal process and Dad is on the minimum wage, while Mum is a City executive. So, all I am asking for is any amount you can afford to help our family stay together albeit not under the same roof as Mum does not want to share home with Dad, but I do and see him or stay with him every day - but at least in the same city.

Mum made Dad homeless while he was studying for his self-financed postgraduate degree, so he is still heavily in debt. He is also Dyslexic and all this stress forces him to be on anti anxiety medications, we really need all the help we can get.

There will be two full days of hearing on the 20 and 21 of December, so hopefully we will raise enough by then, but please spare anything you can however small now and please share with friends and family as time files!
