Support a Pregnant Mother and her son after escaping dv.

Donation protected
I am a mother of a 2 year old, and I am pregnant, due in November. I’m currently dealing with a DV situation: emotionally, physically, and financially. He’s on probation for it. I’ve been a stay at home mom since my 2 year old was born. It was the best decision at the time. As of right now, I was told by my doctors that I cannot work until after I have the baby. I’m high risk for preterm labor and a few other conditions that can threaten mine and/or the baby’s life. I had to get my cervix stitched shut, causing even more restrictions. I have a place to live that I would be able to afford after I have my baby and get back to work. He decided June 28th that he wasn’t paying the rent due on July 1st. Everything is in my name. I’ve tried calling places that help with rental assistance, they won’t help me. I own an RV and live in an RV community. The way they view it is I can just live in national forests hopping from place to place. Because that’s what RVs are meant for, right? But I wouldn’t have running water, and the fresh water tank doesn’t exist as the previous owner took it out because they didn’t need it. So without a fresh water connection, we won’t have water at all. I don’t have a generator either, so we wouldn’t have electricity. I live in Florida. Imagine having no air conditioning in the summer. Even if you open the windows, it would still be about 90 degrees in here, even in the shade. Imagine having a brand new baby and you can’t get them warm in the winter. Florida winters aren’t that harsh, but having a house that’s 40 degrees inside and you can’t get it warm isn’t safe for a baby. According to the law, in order to keep my child (soon to be children) I need running water and electricity. If I can’t provide that, they will take them. I have made calls to so many organizations, programs, and churches. None are willing to help. I have a lease at the RV park, and a way to pay it online so they’d be able to do it themselves instead of giving me the money. Their suggestion is to go to a shelter. All of them are full in the area. And even still, if I go to a shelter, I’d have to find a way to pay to store my RV and vehicle. Which would cost me just as much as I am paying in rent. He brought me here to isolate me from my family and friends, I have no support system here, and even if I did, my family is unable to help financially.

I just need to make it until the end of the year and I’d be able to get a job and cover all of my bills with ease. My total bills, everything included is $1500 per month. Anything helps. Please help me stay out of this violent situation so I can start fresh with my children and finally be able to provide them the life they deserve.

Any extra money would go towards sustaining us until I’m able to get a job after my baby is born, any extra expenses due to a new baby, as well as daycare once I start working until I’m able to get daycare assistance 6 months after I start working.
