Our Family Needs Your Support

Donation protected
Our family consists of myself, Alex my fiancé, Roland, Draven my two sons, and Brighton, my step daughter. Okay okay, and our fishy Ancalagon. Can’t leave him out. Let me take you through the story. In March 2018 I was let go from my job unexpectedly, and unfairly. April 1st we found out we were expecting a new child! (Not even an April fools prank!)During this time I had been looking for a job that would both support my family, and be able to afford daycare for my two kiddos. After several visits to the emergency room, doctors offices, and specialists, I was moved to high risk pregnancy. Little background, Some of you may know with my last pregnancy, my water broke at 22 weeks, resulting in being hospitalized for 2 months, an emergency c section, and 2 months more in the NICU as a single mamma. This pregnancy, I have gotten sick so much, I had actually lost weight, and have tore my esophagus from puking as basically a bad hobby of mine now. I am having to visit a specialist once a week, take hormone replacement shots at home weekly, and I’ve been advised to avoid work, exercise, and even lifting my children. I have a high risk pregnancy due to placenta previa, a cyst on my ovary, and a history of premature pregnancies. I also suffer from a ligament issue in my left hip from a previous pregnancy. As you can imagine this has weighed on the family. My fiancé is constantly concerned with me limping at the grocery store, sleeping restlessly, shouting in pain, and leaving us to wonder when the first bleed we will have is, because we were told when that happens from the previa, I will ultimately be hospitalized again away from my family. My current standings have left me dealing with major financial struggles, bank accounts severely overdraw, living off of credit cards, over due on our bills, and pushing me to find jobs that are ultimately going to push me over the edge, health wise. I have several interviews lined up, but unsure at this time, of the light at the end of the dark time we’ve been going through. Those of you who can help, it’s more appreciated than I can ever express. Those who can’t, your mental support means the world to us as well.
