Help Austin & Brooklyn Cover Essential Expenses
Donation protected
Hello Everyone!
Our names are Austin & Brooklyn Cothron. We have a two-year-old, Waylon, and are expecting our next boy in September 2024. We are unfortunately in a desperate situation. In July, we were hit with Hurricane Beryl which resulted in my husband losing his job on top of leaving us both unemployed for a week. After a few weeks of my husband being unemployed he secured another job and has since started working again. However, it took a toll on savings that were prepared for my maternity leave. Both my husband and I have always worked full-time jobs to make ends meet.
The company I work for does not provide paid maternity leave for employees. I will have to take a mandatory 6 weeks of leave because that is the earliest daycare facilities will take infants here in Texas. We do not have anyone else to watch our infant during this time or I would return to work sooner. While my husband will still be working while I will be on leave, his income alone is not enough to be able to cover our finances for the six weeks. We have been working overtime to try to save but unfortunately, it will not be enough.
We have never been the type to ask for help, we have always managed to get by but we truly cannot find another solution. Anyone who knows my husband and I know that we have always worked hard to provide for our family. We have just exhausted all other options at this point. We are having faith that God will guide and provide us through this situation. All donations will go directly to our monthly rent and utilities for the time I am unemployed. Any donation would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
The Cothron Family
