Support for New Mom and Baby Facing Hardship

Donation protected
Our dear friend, Cassie, is facing an incredibly challenging time after recently losing her job, just four months after giving birth to her baby. As a new mother, she is navigating postpartum depression and severe anxiety while doing everything she can to provide a safe and healthy life for her child. Her baby, August, also has health challenges that require a specialized formula that is not covered by the state, even with a prescription, creating an additional financial burden.

She is a registered CNA who has completed a year of nursing school and plans to re-enroll in August 2026. She also has six years of experience working as a paraprofessional supporting children in special education—showing her deep commitment to caring for others even during her own hardships. While we wait for unemployment benefits to begin, I am raising funds on her behalf to help cover these immediate and essential needs, including specialized formula, rent, and other essentials for her and her baby.

Any support is deeply appreciated. Your generosity will go directly toward ensuring her baby continues to receive the nourishment and care he needs during this difficult time. Thank you so much for your consideration and support.
