Help keep me in ProLife work

Donation protected
I really didn't want to make this gofundme because I know there are needs out there far greater than mine but the sad reality is I have to do something and I don't know what else to do. So after some pushing from friends and family I've given in and swallowed my pride to share this need with you all.

I've worked in prolife advocacy unpaid full time for three years now. This work has been amazing but has cost me and my family a lot of money. Between me not working, and spending our income on prolife work I've kind of put my family in the hole. We've been able to maintain by the grace of God but recently some things have come up that we just can't manage alone any longer.

Many know I have a soft tissue disease which led to my need for dentures last year as well as contributed to my need for a hysterectomy last year at just 26 years old. It also contributed to my infertility battles we fought for years before our one miracle baby. This disease is not curable and requires me to have a surgery every year or two to just maintain the ability to live without excruciating pain or limitations. I've had 7 surgeries since 2015. And my family has sacrificed a lot because of it. I was recently sent to the emergency room and looks like I will be needing another abdomenal surgery in the very near future.
This timing couldn't be worse as we have recently moved from a very unsafe neighborhood to a safe but still very modest place, thus increasing our rent a bit.
And my husband, who has carried us and my prolife work financially all these years, is now between jobs unexpectedly as of two weeks ago and is looking for work at every possible place but it takes time to interview, train, get paid...as we all know. We basically have no income and a wave of expenses flying at us. 

I was already looking at having to cut back my prolife work hours in exchange for a paying job just to help us maintain but now with my once again need for medical care and the out of our control job change for my husband, it's very likely I may have to pause my prolife work completely and find quick paying work until we get out of this terrifying place we're in.
I cringe at thinking I can't work to save lives everyday but the reality is my family needs saving right now and as much as I hate to admit it, it's my fault. I've spent so much unpaid time and so much of our families income on my work it has truly hurt us and our wellbeing and it was never my intent to let it happen. I encourage women to be good wives and mothers and I haven't been that to my own family. I've neglected our needs for the needs of others past the point where it's a good thing. I have to fix this. If I can't find a way to somehow get my family out of the mess my health and work has gotten us in I'll have to give up something and my health isn't an option...so that leaves my work...and I really really don't want that to be an option I have to choose.

I know helping a family with rent and electricity and impending surgery bills is so silly compared to the gofundme fundraisers even I've shared, but I'm at last resorts before giving up my work to go support my family who I've let down.

If you want to talk to me about anything I do or want to see my prolife work, please send me a message!I'd love to show you what it is I'm trying to continue doing with your help!
