New Baby On The Way & I Need Help With Bills
Donation protected
This is the updated version.
I’ll make 6 months next week. When I first made this GoFundMe it was originally for family only but it didn’t yield the results I had hoped for and after about a month of this being active only my Dad and my Uncle have donated so far. I don’t like to make things like this because I don’t like to ask for help, especially when everyone has their own things going on. It makes me feel like i’m coming off like I don’t care about what’s going on in anybody else’s life and that’s not true. Like I said in the beginning I shared the link to this with family only some of those being a group chat of some of my cousins. When I explained my current situation and expressed the need for help they all got upset with me for asking. I know it was mainly because I’m not good at keeping up with anyone or communicating which i acknowledged but the way they all shut me down really hurt….the energy was very much “we didn’t have help when we were having our kids, it’s just part of life. good luck though”…Understanding that my poor communication played a part in this i still felt like that was alittle harsh. At the end of the day i’m not asking for myself i’m asking for my baby. I’m trying to get shit in order so i can get through the rest of this pregnancy as stress-free as possible to avoid any complications.
As of right now my goal would allow me to pay up rent for the time that i need to take off work so that i can fly to New Jersey and carry out the pregnancy near my Mom and around family. It’s getting more and more difficult to go to work because I work at a Amazon warehouse so all the standing, bending, walking, squatting, etc for 10 hours a day is starting to wear on me physically and mentally. I lost my car and my boyfriend’s was totaled in an accident in August so i have to take ubers to and from work everyday which is about $160/week. That on top of groceries, miscellaneous things, rent, bills, etc it’s just a lot on us right now. My boyfriend is unable to work because of his injuries from the accident he can’t lift anything over a certain weight or be too physical for too long so our income is limited.
I know people have their own lives and their own stressors and i’m not trying to take away from that im just asking if you have anything at all extra to spare to bless us with it. If not, just share the link…I would really appreciate it
