My boyfriend and I have been fighting for years to build a better life together. We’ve faced difficult family situations, financial hardships, and countless setbacks that have made it difficult to find the peace and stability we desperately want. We’ve continued trying to move forward, but lately, it feels like we’ve reached a point where we can no longer manage everything on our own. We’re reaching out for help because we desperately want the chance to rebuild our lives and find a better future together.

This year, we experienced a heartbreak we never imagined we would have to endure. On August 29, 2026, I lost our precious baby boy at around 18 weeks of pregnancy due to a rupture of the amniotic sac. His due date was January 24, 2027, and we had been looking forward to meeting our little boy and beginning our lives as parents. Losing him has caused me unimaginable pain, and I’m still trying to process the loss of our son while dealing with the difficulties surrounding us. Sadly, this tragedy has also caused more tension and problems between my mother and me, making an already devastating time even harder. During a time when I desperately need compassion and support, I’ve been struggling with even more emotional stress at home.

Our living situation has become emotionally overwhelming. I experience emotional abuse from my mother, and the people in the household we live in do not provide us with the support or food we need. Instead of feeling safe and supported, we often feel alone in our struggles. We desperately want to leave this unhealthy environment and create a peaceful home of our own, where we can grieve our baby boy, heal, and begin moving forward without the constant stress and hurt.

On top of everything we’ve experienced, my boyfriend has lost his job, and his car has been broken down for months. Without reliable transportation, finding employment and becoming financially stable again has been incredibly difficult. We’ve tried our best to overcome these obstacles, but between our financial struggles, family difficulties, and the loss of our son, we’re facing more than we can manage alone right now.

One of our most urgent needs is our $400 share of rent. We have only two weeks to come up with the money, and if we cannot pay it, we risk losing the place where we’re staying. We’re also struggling to afford groceries and basic necessities. We want to get through this difficult period without losing our housing while working toward a more secure and independent future.

Our goal is to raise $950 to help cover our most urgent expenses:

* $400 — Rent: To help us keep a roof over our heads.
* $300 — Car brake repairs: To help my boyfriend work toward finding employment and reliable transportation.
* $200 — Groceries and meals: To help us afford food and meet our basic needs.
* $50 — Hygiene necessities: To help us purchase essential personal care items.

Every dollar will bring us closer to meeting these needs and taking the first steps toward stability. Our long-term hope is to save enough to leave this unhealthy living situation and build a safe, peaceful home where we can support ourselves and heal from everything we’ve been through.

We haven’t simply given up and asked others to fix our problems. We’ve tried to manage everything ourselves, including selling belongings we purchased or received as gifts when we were in a more stable financial position. We’ve kept trying despite the setbacks, but right now, we need a little help to get through this chapter and find a way forward.

If you’re able to donate, any amount, even $1, would mean so much to us. Your generosity could help us cover our rent, put food on our table, or help us work toward reliable transportation and employment. If you’re unable to donate, sharing our fundraiser could help us reach someone who may be able to support us.

We know many people are facing struggles of their own, and we would never take anyone’s kindness for granted. We’re not asking anyone to solve every problem in our lives. We’re simply asking for a chance to breathe, meet our basic needs, and begin rebuilding after years of hardship and the heartbreaking loss of our baby boy.

Our greatest hope is to find peace, heal from our loss, and build a future where we can live safely and independently without the circumstances around us continuing to hold us back. Every donation, share, and kind word would mean more to us than we can express.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for considering helping us during one of the most difficult times in our lives. Your kindness could make a real difference and give us hope for a better tomorrow. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. ❤️
