Unlawfully fired, last week of maternity leave
Donation protected
I took a 12-week maternity leave, with an expectation to return to work February 4th. Much to my surprise, when I checked my mail the weekend before returning to work, I had received a written letter informing me that I was terminated the final week of my maternity leave, due to NO wrongdoing of my own.
Despite being in contact with the company informing them of my return date both before and during my leave, I received nothing warning me of this change.
My job was my primary source of income. Being a first-time mom of a 3-month old, this places a great strain on me financially and emotionally.
I've been working to try to establish businesses working from home, and would love to continue to do so. Here is a link to the different endeavors I am currently operating while working from home: Ivy League In The Hood
I'm asking for help during my transition to alleviate this injustice.
Discrimination against pregnant women in the workplace and those to choose to start a family needs to end.
I was in active labor for 5 days and had to undergo emergency services in order to deliver.
The money will cover the cost of mine and my daughter's medical needs, doctor's appointments, and living expenses--which have now become a critical, pertinent necessity.
The support would mean the world to us, and we will do all we can to pay it back or pay it forward.
I teach herbalism tea and medicine workshops in my home every day. I conduct photoshoots in my space to local artists and I share my space to keep our dollars flowing in our community, primarily amongst young artists. I will ensure that every person who contributes is compensated in some form, whether it be information, access to other artists or some other way. We thank you in advance.
