NICU Family in need of Assistance

Hello, My name is Sandra Webb and I am the mother of my beautiful daughter Gracelynn Rose. As many know Gracelynn was born at 27 weeks gestational age (3 months early). She has been such a fighter after being born at 2 pounds and 4 ounces she is now weighing 5 pounds and 11 ounces! Through this hard time she has been so strong and fighting like crazy! After two long months of being in the NICU my baby girl is FINALLY coming home! She is still struggling with her breathing so she will be sent home on oxygen and monitors for the time being until she can breath on her own. With that I was out of work for 8 weeks due to my emergency C section with only being paid $200.00 a week which barley covered the grocery bill as we all know things have went up in price, thanks Biden. I some how made it through those weeks, struggling but managing. I returned to work on 1/8/2024 and got a call that my baby girl is going to be coming HOME! So now in order for me to be with my baby girl and care for her and adjust to a newborn being home, I am taking off 4 weeks of work unpaid. This time is hard for me because I really need to be at work, but she needs me more right now. Its really depressing because the stress of "How are you going to pay the bills" has stole the enjoyment and thrill of her finally getting to come home from me. I am able to take the 4 weeks off with her but this is 100% unpaid leave time and I have to pay in nearly $400.00 dollars to keep insurance on my daughter. She has to see a specialist in Birmingham, Dalton Ga, and in Chattanooga TN. I have tried everything to NOT ask for help. I have applied for Medicaid and was denied, I have applied for food stamps and was denied, I have applied for her disability and I was denied, because WHEN I am working I make to much money. They don't understand that I have not worked in months, which is super frustrating and they and not understanding and as a mom with a newborn on oxygen not to mention just took in my cousin because he was in need of a home makes it extremely frustrating. So now I am putting all of my business out there in the open asking the help of family, friends, and people in my town to have grace and understanding as I ask for help. I hate asking for help especially financially. I am very prideful and an extremely hard worker and do my best everyday. All of this has been such out of my control and so unexpected so I am putting my pride aside and asking for the help that I really need at this time in my life. Even if you cant help financially if I can ask for a prayer for my little family as we deal with these demons that we are faced lately and that god just wraps his hands around all of this as we are facing some really hard challenges even outside of what is happening with this situation. And if you can pray for me as I am dealing with a lot of demons, depression, anxiety. As a new mother of a baby that is in the NICU and having no maternity leave, having 0 assistance, there is 0 support for the women in America that have babies and even less for the women who have premature babies.

I thank everyone for their time and I appreciate anything that you can do for me and my family. Thank you and god bless!
