Hello, I am posting this next GoFundMe for a different subject that couldn’t have come at a worse time. I was recently taken to the ER as I’ve been struggling homeless, trying to get my daughter back and up on my feet. I went in thinking I had a bad UTI because of how many times I was in pain, but that wasn’t the case. I was wrongly diagnosed with a UTI in the past and now being told I have ovarian cancer, but it needs to be rechecked by an OBGYN and primary doctor. I called both, and they refused me because of my insurance. I don’t want to be doubtful, but I have no money, no job that will hire me, and nowhere to go. Please, someone help me as I would for anyone else. Everything seems to be piling on my shoulders, making it harder to get my baby back. What if I can’t have any more children! I have one daughter and one life, and I’m scared no one will ever donate anything to save my daughter’s or my life. I don’t know what’s so wrong with me and my story to just look past it. I do as much as I can to help others but always get the bad end of the stick. I’ve never won anything, no one has congratulated me on anything, I just get judged and treated with fake love. No family, no friends. Why?

Two years ago, I shared my pregnancy journey on this website. I didn’t receive anything to help fund me and my baby’s new life, and now I return to seek financial support for myself. I fought tirelessly for a whole year after losing my child to CPS! I attended every class, completed every screening, and made every visit possible, all while managing a new job that others doubted I could handle. I struggled alone when I desperately needed my family's support. Throughout that year of fighting for my rights, I often had to walk for hours to get around, as my parents were frequently absent. Eventually, during court proceedings, I was kicked out because my dad claimed I was 'stressing your mom to death,' as she suffers from dementia, and everything changed. I discovered that my stepsister had already been sharing pictures of my child with her friends, asking if anyone would take her in. I felt lost and homeless, unsure of where to begin, and had to navigate my way through this difficult situation. Soon after, I lost my job due to a co-worker threatening me and cutting my hair, which led to a confrontation as I defended myself. I signed up for various shelters and job opportunities nearby, but nothing materialized. As my last court date approached, I couldn't help but think that if circumstances had remained stable just a little longer, I could have kept my baby. The judge awarded custody of my child to the family that my stepsister, Lydia Balogh, had arranged. Now, as time drags on, I find myself still homeless a year later, scavenging daily for trash to make enough money for a little food. My stepsister, Lydia Balogh, has received $14,798 in funding from her fundraiser a few months ago, while I created mine two years ago, and no family or friends have stepped up to help me secure a better life for myself and my baby before she was taken. I am drug-free and a loving mother; just because I am a new mother does not mean I am unfit to have children. Please, if anyone can empathize with my story, I urge you to help fund my journey back to safety and provide me with the love I so desperately needed during my darkest times. It is freezing outside, and living like this is incredibly challenging when no one is willing to give me a chance.
