Hi, my name is Ana and I'm a mother of four beautiful babies—ages 3, 2, 10 months, and a newborn. Life has become incredibly hard, and I’m humbly asking for help.

Just before my youngest was born, my husband left me for a 19-year-old. He abandoned our family when we needed him most. Over the years, he’s battled a serious alcohol addiction, drained our finances, and failed to hold down a job. I kept hoping things would change—for our kids—but they never did. This time he left us for a 19 year old and doesn't want to take responsibility for anything.

Now, I’m completely on my own, doing everything I can to care for my babies with no income. I can’t work because I have four little ones who need me constantly—diapers, bottles, sleepless nights, and endless tears.

I’m behind on rent. I struggle to keep paying bills, daycare, gas, wipes, diapers on my babies, and daily essentials. Some days, I honestly don’t know how we’re going to make it through. I am dealing with the pain of abandonment and the fear of how I will keep a roof over their heads. Every small donation helps keep the lights on, keep the internet on or cover a few diapers.

I never thought I’d have to do this, but I’m putting my pride aside for the sake of my children. If you find it in your heart to help—whether by donating, sharing, or just sending love—we are so grateful.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Ana.
