Support a New Mom and Her Baby in Crisis

I am in a desperate situation with my 10-week-old daughter and my pugs. I have never had to make a GoFundMe, but I'm so desperate, I am running out of options. This is my story.

After I got pregnant and baby's father and I broke up, he went behind my back and terminated the lease to our home at the time after telling me in a text message that he would let me stay and pay half the rent to help me so I could live there during my pregnancy and have time to find somewhere else, but terminated it. I was then forced to hire an attorney in order to receive just a week to vacate after coming home to my locks being changed and all the utilities had been shut off, and my dogs were in the home at 12 weeks pregnant. The leasing company claimed I had "no rights" because the lease was in his name. I ended up staying in a hotel for about a week or two until I could find a rental after that. I found a rental, but the landlords refused to fix the issues in the home and ended up selling it to another landlord that wouldn't correct the issues either.

I was working at the time and I was employed all the way until this January when I was fired from my job for missing too much work due to being in the hospital with my SVT heart complications with my pregnancy. I was hospitalized 17 times in 8 months and did it by myself, so I lost my income and still haven't been able to go back to work because I am still in the postpartum stage and she is just now 10 weeks old. I've used a few resources in my county to help pay a few bills back in January, and they only assist once per year or others are currently out of funding. I've tried everything. I have even applied for child care help with DSS to be prepared for finding a job, but even their list for that assistance is backed up about 6-8 months as well.

I have seven days to get together more funds to be able to move. I will genuinely have not a single place to go because I don't have money coming in consistently until I find a job. What I have now is what I have made from side jobs and selling my belongings. Nor do I have a single human to crash with if needed; all of my friends already have full homes. I do not have family that's any count; they are very toxic and abusive, so I have no support system while raising this infant alone while struggling this bad. Her father wants nothing to do with the situation even though I have begged and begged him to talk to me or care for her. I've even reached out to his family and get blocked. It's the most heartbreaking thing ever seeing my baby girl be denied in such a way.

So I am doing this 100% alone. I have a crappy Jeep that has no AC and 307k miles on it, and I have to have her in the car. It bothers me so much when we have to go to appointments or stores because it's so hot down here in the Carolinas, and it's getting hotter now. I am in the process of getting him for child support, but it takes a few weeks to months to get settled. He purposely didn't comply with the paternity test to stretch things out and make it longer before I can get money. We have court June 3rd for him to be court-ordered to do a mouth swab for paternity testing.

I'm seriously terrified I'm going to be in my Jeep with my little family. I have cried for days on end because I just don't know what to do. This was a last resort for me. Any amount of money would be deeply appreciated, and every penny will be put towards me and my baby girl and fur children having a place to live.

All I want to do is be the perfect mom for my perfect girl. I want to lay down and cuddle her and not worry if we will have a roof over our heads this time next week. I want to just hold her and my heart be warm with safety and security.
