Baby Fund and Paternity Leave
Donation protected
Great news, our baby has arrived!
He is healthy and thriving but he's here roughly 3 weeks ealier than expected, and because of his grand entrance into this world, my partner had to get a C-Section and is going to take longer to recover than we had originally expected.
This means that I was not able to work the additional overtime I had scheduled so that alone has put us at a slight financial deficite. I was able to accumulate roughly 2 weeks paid off of work (using all of my PTO and my Floating Holiday PTO for the remainder of the year) but her recovery time is said to be 3-6 weeks. After arriving home from an extended stay at the hospital, we are realizing that these coming weeks are crucial for me to be at home. We also have found that our finances have quickly run dry in attempts to getting last minute items for our newborn.
We are hoping to raise enough money for 1 month of rent, bills, and hopefully some extra money to get some remaining items from our Amazon Baby Registry. It is roughly $3000.
$1200 - Rent
$600 - Bills
$600 - Food, Gas, Household necesitites (for 1 month per our pre-baby budget)
$500 - Diapers, Wipes, Items from our registry and other unforseen expenses
$100 - GoFundMe Fees
=====================================================================
For anybody interested, and for the other reason this time is incredibly crucial to us, I created a product that has softly launched and I'm hoping to take it into the next major steps of marketing and promotion after I finish test shipments. I was on track for getting this completed before our baby got here but he's slightly adjusted my timeline for completion. It means everything to me to be able to work on becoming an entrepreneur so that I can actually watch my son grow up instead of spending my whole life working overtime just to afford the bare necesities. If you are interested in learning more about this product, please message me directly. I have heavily discounted pricing for anybody that can make a donation and support my startup.
