Hello, I am a single mom to a beautiful little toddler. After an incredibly difficult decision, I am going through a divorce with a person who caused me a lot of mental, emotional, and financial abuse. I am fighting against a man who wasn’t present throughout my pregnancy or postpartum, and does not want to pay child support or childcare to enable me to work. I am fighting a custody and child support battle with him to get what my child rightfully deserves. I want to provide a safe and loving home for my child. However, I spent all my life savings on my divorce case which is still ongoing and have accumulated thousands of dollars in debt. I have maxed out my credits to pay my bills which has caused my credit score to be ruined. I am in no position to apply for any loans or get anymore credits card. I am also paying for childcare on my own right now to keep my job which has been helping me but is no where providing enough to manage monthly expenses. I am struggling to pay my monthly bills now and that is why I am asking for help from the community.

I’m doing everything I can to stay on my feet and ensure my child is well taken care of but I can no longer see the light ahead as the financial burden has become greater than I can handle and I can no longer keep my head above the sea.

I’m reaching out to ask for support as I navigate this challenging chapter. The funds raised will go toward:

- Monthly bills, including rent, utilities, and groceries not covered by EBT and other expenses (such as diapers/wipes, baby clothing, educational needs/toys, transportation)

- Medical bills and health insurance

- Childcare and other necessary expenses for my child so I can work and build myself again

Any contribution, no matter how small, will help me stay afloat and keep a roof over our heads, as I continue to fight the biggest battle of my life for myself and my child. I am sure I’ll be able to get back on my feet and become stable again once the father of my child starts paying child support, childcare and healthcare expenses. But until then, I must keep fighting.

I am truly grateful for your support, and this will help bring me one step closer to a more stable future for me and my child.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your generosity means the world to us.
