Update to the original post.

I spent all week trying and failing to get a (any) crowdfunding site setup and they either won’t accept my credentials or don’t allow fundraising for this reason.

(If anyone knows how to reach GoFundMe by phone, please let me know. I don’t know why they say they support Ireland if they won’t accept an Irish photo ID as proof of identity.)

I cannot move forward with a solicitor unless I finish raising at least €10,000. And it will be difficult for any solicitor to take my case unless I can raise it before the end of this week. Until then, I have to continue to represent myself to the courts and file documentation on my own.

I realize this is a lot of money, but we really are out of options and out of time. If you can contribute, even just a small amount, please help us. We greatly appreciate it.
