Thanks for reading! We are looking for some temporary support to get back on our feet. After finding out we were pregnant, I started a new job answering phones for the suicide hotline. Because I was there less than 6 months, I am not eligible for any paid leave. Additionally, our prior landlord abandoned that property, and we decided to move after giving birth to prevent any unplanned moves in the future with potential ownership changes following the sheriff sale. I had about 8 days PTO which are long gone now. I am currently on unpaid maternity leave and 4.5 weeks postpartum. I had saved up to cover our expenses during my leave, but we used up what we had pretty quickly between bills, costs of living, moving expenses, and things for the baby.

On top of this, we have run into some issues with our only source of transportation which we need to get fixed ASAP as we don't live in a highly accessible area. I am planning to return to work as soon as I can get medical clearance to do so. My husband is planning on getting a job as well to help us catch up, and a working vehicle is essential.

We would use donated funds towards rent, fixing the car up, and covering our day-to-day expenses such as food and diapers. Any support would mean the world to us right now as we try to get back on our feet. Thank you for reading our story and considering a donation.
