Aid a Black Mother in survival, recovery, and rest
Donation protected
First I would just like to say that I am very grateful to anyone that is reading, sharing, or donating to my gofundme and supporting me in my journey as a mother, and even just as a person. Thank you so much.
I am a 24-year old pregnant Black Mother who also has a child that is 1-year-old son. I am single as well as independent, working a minimum wage job trying to make ends meet. Since I discovered I was pregnant, I took on more work hours in order to get ready to take care of my newborn baby as well as my 1-year-old son. On top of this, I have to pay the rent of my apartment, which is $1500 a month. It has been really hard these past few months trying to constantly work every day for hours, come home, have to clean, and take care of my 1-year-old, deal with hormones, and my mental health all in one. I am physically and mentally exhausted, my body hurts, my feet hurt, and I need rest. I am currently 30 weeks pregnant. Rest is essential to keep a healthy pregnancy, and I need to get proper rest in order for my newborn baby to be okay and healthy. Getting the funds I need will help me get rest, relieve me of some stress, maybe even find a babysitter, take more time to myself, and hopefully, that will help with my mental health.
I promise that anything helps and that I am grateful for every dollar, every cent, and it will not go to waste.
I would also like to add that this gofundme is anonymous because I live in a toxic environment with very toxic family members, and I just do not want to bear the judgment and harsh comments towards me that I do not deserve. It would also be safer and healthier for me and my children if I stay anonymous, and that is the best choice for us. As a result of this, I also have a very unreliable support system that is also emotionally scarring. The firmest support system I've had is myself and it's very tiring to constantly have to do all this on my own. I need a break, not just from these past few months, but from life in general. I have had many traumatic hardships in my life and really need support. Again, any and everything is appreciated. Thank you so much.
