On November 19, 2025, we welcomed our last baby into the world much earlier than expected. My water broke at 34 weeks, and because our little one wasn’t head down, I needed an emergency c-section. Right now, our baby is in the NICU, working so hard to get strong enough to come home to our family. It’s been an emotional and challenging time for all of us as we adjust to this new reality and do everything we can to support our baby’s recovery.

I had hoped to work a bit longer before starting maternity leave, so we could cover bills and make the holidays special for our family. But our baby had his own plan, and my early delivery meant I had to stop working sooner than expected. My boyfriend works very hard, but with my recovery from surgery, he’s needed to be home more to help care for me and our other children. This has made it even harder to keep up with our regular expenses.

We’re reaching out for help so we can focus on our baby’s health and my recovery, without the added stress of worrying about bills or rushing back to work. Any support would mean the world to us and help us get through this difficult time. Thank you so much for considering a donation and for keeping our family in your thoughts.
