Hello,
I have started this GoFundMe to help a young mother with her son in the hospital in Philly. He was taken by ambulance last night to CHOP as the local hospital in Carbon County, PA did not have the means of treating him. The mom's name is Lu. Her story is that she is a single parent; the baby's father is not providing any financial support. She walks to and from work, in the cold, ice, and snow. Her employer is threatening to fire her as she told them she is not coming in today or until her son is released and back home. She pays all of her bills, keeps a roof over their head, food on the table, and provides adequate clothing for the two of them. This year she even donated to a local family in need. With her $14 per hour job, she is doing amazing.
Current need: money to buy food while at the hospital! She may be there for days. She will need transportation to get back home when the baby is discharged. She has a possibility of getting a basic car but needs money to transfer the title and register the car. Then she will be able to stop getting groceries delivered by Walmart. Yesterday, she needed Tylenol for the baby; the $6 bottle ended up costing $25 with their delivery fee.
The baby is stable and showing signs of improvement.
She is a great mother, putting her own needs behind those of the little guy. If you feel moved to help, she will be extremely grateful.
