Help me get to my children -PLEASE!
I need help. I have been generous and giving and compassionate to all who are traveling this journey of life, and I pray that now that I have a great need, that someone out there will help me. I believe that the universe is a universe of abundance, and that by continually living a life of love and generosity, that good things can be returned to you in your own time of need. I have lived a life of generosity, but now I am in great need, and I pray that the Divine Wisdom can help guide someone who is able to reach out and help me in my mission.
My mission is to get to Yemen to get my three beautiful children. Their Yemeni father has kidnapped them, and I have no money for a plane ticket to get to them and hug them and protect them from him. In order to get a plane ticket over there (one-way), I need $800.00. Toget 4 plane tickets to bring me and my children back to America,I need $5200.00.
I have sole custody papers in the USA. The FBI and the State Department and the National Centers for Missing and Exploited Children are working on the case,but Yemen is not a part of the Hague Convention on International Parental Abduction, so there is nothing they can do, basically.
I need my children, and they need me. They are Americans. They can only speak English. They cannotlive in such a repressive society (in Yemen). They are strong-willed, smart, and independent, and my husband will crush thatspirit out of them to make them submissive slaves,as women are "supposed to be" there.
I need to get to my children.
It's a long story. My husband is yemeni whom I met while studying in Japan as a college exchange student. After we got married, he totally changed and became very abusive and controlling and evil. In 2001, he was arrested by the FBI for being a "first-stringer al-Qaeda operative - highly intelligent and highlymotivated" (according to their court documents.
My husband spent three and a half years in jail before they ended up deporting him to Yemen. 5 months later, he got a hold of my children and has been keeping them hostage in Yemen.
I have to get to Yemen. I need a plane ticket. My children are my life, my soul, my entire being. They are my purpose in life.
My husband doesn't care about the kids. All he cares about is gaining a "high level in Heaven" because, according to his beliefs, a man's greatest duty isto raise good Muslim children. The better the Muslims they become, the higher the level in Heaven he gets. I'm an American women, and I'mnot Muslim, so he wants his children to be away from their "morally currupt mother", as he says.
My children are being brainwashed right now. The last time I spoke to them on the phone, I heard him yelling at them in the background, telling them "Don't listen to her! She never cared about you kids. She's evil!".
I have never in my life ever even thought about harming my children in any way. I never wanted to have kids, but after I had them, I realized that I had been given the greatest blessing one could ever receive. I want my children to learn things he can never teach them, because he doesn't know them himself.
My children are very intelligent - all with IQs above 156. I want them to learn to love themselves, to know that they matter, that they have a purpose in this world, that they can do or become anything they could ever dream of being.
Myhusband has a different view altogether. He believes women are stupid and below men. He believes girls should stay inside at all times, never talk to or look at any males, that they should spend their timelearning to cook and clean and care for children, marry their first cousin (who he already haspicked out for them) around the age of 14, and spend their lives being a good Muslim mother and servant to their husband.
I cannot and will not let him do this to my beautiful children. My children are little flowers who are just starting to bloom andfind their place in this world, and they have to know that there are more options and better ways of living than he teaches.
I need my children.
If there is anyone who is able to do so, I beg for the money to purchase a plane ticket so I can get to my children. I need to hug them. I need to tell them that I love them with every cell in my body. I need them, and they need me.
Please help me get to Yemen to be with my children.
My story is true. Just google "Asgraf Al-Jailani" or "Michele Swensen" and you'll see all the articles about him - in the New York Times, the USA Today, and all over the country - even in Japan and Yemen.
I stood behind him and supported him because he had no one to support him while he was in jail. And in return, he steals my children from me.
Please help me right this injustice. Please help me get to my children so that I can re-direct their lives, enlarge their visions, and teach them that they are worth more than what he teaches them they are.
Please help me. My children's lives are at stake. Each day that goes by where their heads are filled with his brainwashing crap, the more I lose them, adnt he more they lose themselves and form themselves into the good-little-slave mold he tries so hard to force them in to.
Please help me get a plane ticket!
Thank you.
