Support Mariana and Angel's Growing Family

It’s hard to describe how it feels to want to ask for help but feeling too embarrassed to do so. But me, my husband, and our soon to be born child are in some desperate need of help and many prayers at the moment.

To give some background, my name is Mariana Solano, I live in MA with my amazing husband of 2 years Angel Solano. We got married young and have been experiencing life together for what feels like the first time. It’s been a rollercoaster full of ups and downs but with time, patience, and most importantly the love and strength of God we’ve grown an amazing love and relationship.

After two years of it just being us, one morning I found out that I was pregnant. To be honest I was terrified, having PCOS I had come to terms with believing that I might not have children in this lifetime. But God blessed me with the one thing I thought I couldn’t have. I told my husband and, just as I did, he couldn’t believe it. We cried and we panicked, but in the end we were so happy to start building our family together.

We worked hard every day to make sure that the life we are building would be perfect for our upcoming new addition.

But as time was going by, it became harder and harder to keep up with the demands of life. Rent, gas, light, car insurance, etc. One thing after the other it felt as if we were chasing some unattainable thing. I was working 50-55 hours a week while pregnant in a ware house hoping to make even the smallest dent in our financial struggle. My husband attending school full time to obtain his CDL while also working 50-60 hours a week, sleeping 3-4 hours a day just to secure us a better future. With all the time and effort put into trying to get out of this financial rut, we were not able to fully enjoy this pregnancy because we had to figure out how to survive the next day.

It’s been week after week and now I find myself 38 weeks along expecting our beautiful baby boy any day now. Im thankful to work somewhere that provides paid maternity leave but ultimately it’s not enough to get us by. And as of very recently my husband has unfortunately lost his job suddenly so now it feels as if we are stuck in a deep hole.

I have faith that God has a plan for us, that with these trials and tribulations our faith in him will be fruitful. But with human tendencies and thinking I can’t help but worry about the future and what it holds. To be honest I’m scared of what will become of us, what will become of our son in the very near future.

Me and my husband are humbly asking for your help to get us back on our feet and on steady ground once again so that we can comfortably bring our son into this world knowing that he will be taken care of. If you are unable to help financially please pray for us with everything you have, we need all the love and support we can get in these troubling times.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to our story. May God bless you and keep you. We love and appreciate you all.
