Hello! My name is Brittany Jones.

Hello! I’m embarrassed to make this GoFundMe, but I’ve been suggested to do so numerous times, so I thought I’d give it a try.

I am now 39 weeks pregnant with a beautiful and healthy baby girl, whose name will be Dahlia.

The father was abusive and neglectful, and after he left me out on the street knowing I was pregnant with his child, I came back to Missouri to start a better life for my daughter and me.

I’m being told time after time, when asking for a job, that I’m “too pregnant” and I “need to come back and apply after I have the baby.”

This is putting me in a horrible position where I can’t find work to save my life. It’s extremely frustrating and disheartening when all I want is to provide for my child.

I am sober, reliable, and always try to do my very best in life, but I’m finding myself being discriminated against when trying my absolute hardest to get work.

Not a single company will hire me due to being pregnant, and I’ve been openly told this over 40 times by various companies.

I cannot afford to pay my rent, bills, and I do not even own a vehicle, which has proven to make life that much more challenging.

My electricity was even shut off last week, and I was fortunate enough to have someone help me with that so I can be in my apartment safely.

I don’t have internet or a vehicle, and I don’t want or need fancy things. Just some help from my community.

I have managed to get many things for my daughter together: the crib, clothes, basic necessities, but I still need to get so much for her and I just want to give her the best start possible.

We need:

newborn safe car seat

baby shoes

baby health and bathing necessities

diapers

newborn socks and mitts

bottles, binkies, bottle accessories

car seat cover

stroller

baby towels

winter hat

bottle warmer

breast pump and bags

baby food

formula

rocking chair

wet wipes

swaddles

safe transportation

maternity clothes

Any help at all is appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
