Although I am not Christian, I do believe in the power of prayer and right now my family could use all the help it can get right now.
My fiance is currently in the local county jail being charged with DUI and Felony Eluding although he does not drink and has not used in over 5 yrs. With the new laws in Washington, the state no longer has to carry the burden of proof for DUI cases and he failed to request a blood test within 2 hours of the accident so has no defense. It doesn't help matters that he has no memory of any of it. He was on his way home and can remember turning on E st but everything from E to I, where he crashed, is missing. There where no signs that he even hit the breaks before he crashed and he has been having stroke-like symptoms this whole time (he was arrested April 17th) and denied medical treatment. He is scared, he knows there is something wrong and can't get help. He also knows that he will never receive a fair trial with a public defender. In fact in all this time (nearly 2 months) his court appointed attorney has been in once to see him and told him to just plead guilty and take what they give him (they are trying to give him 5 yrs).
My kids are falling apart at the seams, the 11 yr old cries every night because he misses him, the 13 yr old is holding it all in and barely speaks now, the 15 yr old is acting out and the 19 yr old is trying to take on too much and is beginning to crack. I can't say I'm coping all that well with the situation, and my medical issues are flaring up due to stress. Needless to say we could all use a few prayers right now.
