10/1/25 update on Baby Charlotte.

Charlotte was doing great up til this weekend, her stats have been up & down and they did a lot of testing and she has pneumonia again :( so all her sedations are back on and they are keeping her comfortable but she keeps having these fits that turn her purple :( it breaks my heart and with this update I wanna say I appreciate all who have donated before! Going forward I need all the donations that I can get as I haven’t been able to work with her being unstable. Please any donation is appreciated!

















update 9/1/25

Charlotte is now 3 pounds 14.6 inches long! She’s getting there guys. There has been some big bumps and setbacks but we are slowly getting there. Yesterday 8/31/25 was a very hard day for me, she was dropping her stats ALOT. Had to be bagged almost a handful of times. I am continuing this go fund me because I need to be by my babys side. I have started work & my son has started school but if anything happens with her, I need to be by her side letting her know mama is here and I need your help to allow me to do that. My next paycheck at work is going to be very very small due to me only working 3 days and I need groceries & to pay bills that I don’t have the money to pay. I am also going through a divorce as well. I just have so much on my plate that I really need some financial help with. So please again, any donation towards this fund is truly appreciated & one day when I am out of this hole that I am in, that I can give back and help someone else like you guys have helped me :) again please please Donate!!






update 8/10/25

Charlotte is still struggling with her left lung. Praying it heals and she can get off the ventilator soon. Any donations made towards Charlotte is to pay bills & gas & food for my son & I. I appreciate it all the help so far! But it’s still gonna be a long road and recover for my sweet baby girl. So please continue to donate



-**update:
she is here, she is weighing about 1 pound 3 oz and 7 inches long, she’s tiny and has a long road ahead of her. I am still unable to work due to having to care for her, and I had a c-section and will continue to be out of work til August. My son also is signed up for football and needs gear & school is just around the corner and he needs clothes and school supplies. As a single parent the struggle and financial stress of Charlotte coming early has taken a toll on me mentally. Please continue to share and donate! Every donation is very much appreciated!!!


Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out to ask for support for my step-sister, Tara, who is currently 21 weeks pregnant and facing serious pregnancy complications. Due to the severity of her condition, her doctors have made the difficult decision to hospitalize her for the remainder of her pregnancy — or until the baby is viable outside of the womb.

This has been an emotionally and physically exhausting time for Tara, but her strength and determination to protect her unborn child is nothing short of inspiring. Unfortunately, this also means she is unable to work and has no source of income during this critical time.

We’re raising funds to help cover her basic living expenses while she’s in the hospital, including rent, food, and bills — so she can focus entirely on her health and her baby without the added stress of financial hardship. Every donation, no matter how small, will help ease this burden and bring some peace of mind during an incredibly difficult journey.

Please consider donating or sharing this campaign to help us support Tara and her baby. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
