Support for Ryne and Marlo (EMERGENCY)
Donation protected
Ryne and their baby Marlo have just been informed they have until the end of the day (6/2) to move out of their current living situation in Little Rock, AR. Because this is an emergency, I ask for urgency in your donations and shares.
Letter from Ryne:
Since June 2020 (when I found out I was pregnant with Marlo), I've lived back home in Little Rock, AR w/ my mom. Things have been rocky in the past, but bc of her insistence of me moving back, I thought things had changed. The issue w/ our dynamic is mostly due to lack of boundaries.
I recently expressed that I felt like I wasn't getting a lot of support when it came to the care of Marlo. Granted, she is MY child and MY choice. However, the promise of stability and support. My mom just went through a divorce and is going through a stage of "rediscovery", which I've encouraged and respected. However, it doesn't negate my need for help as a 22 year old single parent. Through my expression (not disrespectful, just truthful and matter of fact), I was informed that I need to move out.
I now have a short amount of time to gather not only myself, but my infant child together to find housing. This is difficult bc of where we live and my lack of transportation, as the offer to use my mom's second vehicle has now been revoked. Bc we live in a rural area of LR, Ubers are not always available and when they are they can cost an upward of $40 one way.
The importance of this gofundme isn't really for myself, but the safety and protection of Marlo. She and her wellbeing are what's most important to me.
This is very time sensitive.
Transparency for use of funds:
-rental assistance/security deposit for new home
-transportation
- medical funds (doctors appts. & meds (I have bipolar disorder and BPD))
Anything helps and I appreciate everyone for your support in advance.
