Support a Mother and Her NICU Baby

Hello everyone my name is Stephanie I’m currently in NC (from Texas) while my baby is in NICU at Cones Health. On 6/27 my baby decided to come early at only 24 W 5 D so I was not prepared at all. Back in march I lost my job at 2 months pregnant and I went to multiple job interviews with no luck (no one wants to hire a pregnant woman as sad as that sounds) so in May my friend who lives in NC reached out to me if I wanted to dog sit since I couldn’t find a job he offered to pay since he knew I was unemployed. While I was over here I was able to finally find a work from home job who knew I was pregnant gave me a start date of 6/24.

On my 3rd day of training I started having really bad contractions and they told me I was going into pre term labor which eventually was told I had PPROM.

But anyways back to why I’m creating this my baby has been in the NICU for 84 days and I feel like now that he’s alert I’m missing so much of it. I work Monday-Friday and go as soon as I get out of work and leave around 12-1 am and I’m missing so many milestones. Please find it in your heart so I can be with my baby full time. I’m a single mom in state away from family & friends doing this alone. I want to be able to spend more time with my baby as we get closer to getting out. The donations will go towards bills to help me pay for housing, utilities, and food. Thank you for your time and have a blessed day
