Bridge the Gap for a Single Mom and Her Kids

UPDATE 9/4: All the support and love from TikTok and beyond enabled my baby, Dahlia, to get all the treatment she needed and she has started to play with the idea of nursing again. In the midst of everything, the situation with her father made a turn for the worse and I decided it wasn’t safe for the kids and I to remain where he could access us. The bit of extra $ we had allowed us to get to a safe place to stay in Denver, but now the hard work of restarting our entire lives begins. We came here with only what we could fit in the minivan. I have childcare with family here so that I’m able to work once I find a job. Now that we are through getting Dahlia treatment and relocating, additional donated funds will be used toward securing permanent housing for us. Thank you all again, from the very bottom of my heart, for taking the interest and time to support and care for my family. It was truly made a remarkable difference and we are so grateful to be on our way to a brighter future.

I’m a single mom of 3 going through a particularly rough patch. I am utilizing all available resources but need to bridge a gap. My baby has been unable to nurse due to lip, tongue, and cheek ties and needs a surgery to correct it which I must pay out of pocket. I have been losing my milk due to her nursing strike and the stress I’m under from trying to keep things amenable with her father who struggles with addiction. I have two older children that I provide for, as well. I just need to slow things down for a little while so I can do lots of skin to skin and pump to get my milk back. I’ll be going back to work as soon as we get through this. Anything you can do to until then to help us slow time down a little and give us a bit of a soft landing will be deeply appreciated. My kids are my entire world. Thank you
