Support Our Stay With Baby in NICU

Donation protected
Hi friends

I’m a working (and stay-at-home) mom who recently started building my therapy business. Our baby arrived earlier than expected and is currently in the NICU. Because of this unexpected change, I’m hoping to raise a small amount to help us afford a short maternity leave (about 2–3 weeks). Realistically, we can currently only afford one week off as a family.

Right now, our focus is being present at the hospital with our baby while also allowing time for my body to heal and our family to adjust emotionally. Having just a little more time away from work would make a huge difference in being able to show up fully during this critical period.

My goal is simply to cover basic needs like rent and utilities during that time. If you’re able to give, share, or even just send thoughts, prayers, or good vibes, it truly means the world to our family. Thank you for supporting us during such a vulnerable and tender season. ❤️
