I know this is just another sob story, but let me introduce myself. My name is Haven, and I have a husband and 3 kids (10-year-old twins and a 14-month-old). I have recently had to take a few months off to help with my son's severe mental health issues. Without going into too many details, I have had to take multiple leaves from work to help with my son's mental health and have used up all my personal time off at work beforehand to leave work to deal with these issues. We've gone from a very successful two-income household to one income and have gone back to living paycheck to paycheck. We've been struggling financially to just do the BARE MINIMUM for our children. I have had to take an unpaid LOA to care for him and am unable to be at work due to this. (Luckily, I have job security due to this unpaid leave), but unfortunately, we have struggled tremendously in the meantime. I am a hardworking, full-time mom who also has to be a SAHM for the unforeseeable future. My children are my world, and I've done everything to provide for them. I did not see this happening, and my family has unfortunately suffered the consequences of me not being able to work. If you are able to help, please consider it. If not, and you disagree with me asking for help, please don't worry about it. No hate, and no bad feelings. I don't want people to judge me, but I'm just looking for help. I'm planning on getting a part-time job when my husband has the time off, but he's working 16-hour shifts to make up for my income. It's just not enough. If you can, thank you. If not, no hard feelings. Please don't judge, as I'm already beating myself up for this. At the same point in time, I just want to help my family. Thank you for reading this. ♥️
