Help Me Catch Up After Welcoming My Baby

Donation protected

In February 2026, I welcomed my amazing baby boy into the world. He is truly the best thing that has ever happened to me, and every day with him is a gift. He’s a happy, healthy little boy, and I am so grateful to be his parent.


In June 2025, I found out I was pregnant and I had never been more scared. I had had a rough upbringing and was terrified I'd let this child down. Things were not perfect but I absolutely loved my partner and wanted this baby. When I found out I was pregnant, it was unplanned and came at a time when I was already struggling financially. I had credit cards in default and no savings to fall back on. But at 35, I felt like this was meant to be, and I wanted this child with all my heart. I thought things would be tight but manageable. However, life had other plans. My short-term disability didn’t provide what I expected, and the out-of-pocket costs for the pregnancy quickly added up. I began to fall behind on bills, and the financial pressure became overwhelming. On top of the stress of the past due bills my vehicle broke down. The thermostat is broken and needs to be replaced. I live in Las Vegas Nevada, the summers here are extremely hot. Without a thermostat I can't drive my vehicle without it overheating, let alone drive while using the ac. I need to cover the cost of repairs for this issue as well. I have been using my sister's car on the weekends and ridesharing on the weekdays while she uses her car.


Now, I am back at work and earning my full income, but the past due amounts from those challenging months have piled up. I am reaching out for help to catch up on these balances so I can provide a stable home for my son. Any support, no matter how small, would mean the world to us. Thank you for considering helping us during this time.


I am asking for twenty four hundred dollars. Its two car payments 825.24. Two loan payments 420.82. Work that needs to be done on my vehicle so that i have a running vehicle- 185 for the part and 280 for the labor. My Affirm account is in default the total to pay off is 682.65.


Update the 465 for the work on my car was donated to me personally from my brother's family. I have updated the fundraisers goal but left the amount in the body.
