Patrice Petty is a devoted single mother to a 14-year-old son and a brand new baby boy—born just one week ago. She has always worked hard to provide stability, love, and a better future for her children. But right now, Patrice is facing an urgent and overwhelming financial crisis.

After giving birth, Patrice was placed on short-term disability, which cut her pay by over $10 an hour. This drastic drop in income came at the worst possible time: while recovering from childbirth, caring for a newborn, and still supporting her teenage son.

Now, Patrice is at risk of losing everything. Her car is scheduled to be repossessed tomorrow unless she can raise $700 immediately. Without transportation, she will have no way to attend postpartum appointments, get groceries, or eventually return to work. On top of that, she needs $5,000 to cover basic expenses—rent, utilities, food, and baby supplies—for the remainder of her unpaid maternity leave.

This is more than a personal emergency—it’s a reflection of how America treats new mothers. Despite living in one of the wealthiest countries in the world, women like Patrice are still forced to choose between healing and survival. There is no guaranteed paid maternity leave. No safety net for working mothers. And when complications arise, many are left to navigate impossible choices alone.

Patrice is not asking for luxury—just the essentials to stay afloat: a safe home, transportation, and food for her children. Every dollar raised will go directly toward helping her avoid eviction, keep her car, and make it through maternity leave without fear.

Please consider donating whatever you can to help Patrice and her family. If you’re unable to give, sharing this campaign could make all the difference.

Let’s come together to support a mother who has given her all—and now just needs a little help to get through this critical time.

Thank you for your compassion and support.
