Help with court fees

Im currently in a custody battle for my kids.

I requested a GAL get involved and it looks like we are moving forward for that. I have to pay $500 for her fee. The sooner I pay the faster she can start and I was already warned I may not have enough time before my court date.

Im also trying to fix major house repairs before then, as my time was reduce when a pipe burst. I have a lot going on and it all needs fixed in the next 2 weeks. The 500 will get me by, more would be greatly appreciated.

I dont know how to prove it but I really am trying to do the right thing for my kids and it just seems like the world is against me right now.
