Maternity Leave Fund

Donation protected
My name is Nicole and I am a first time mom to be. I started this account for the simple reason that I do not get paid maternity leave, just like many other struggling families in the U.S.

There is always that worry of how long you can go without working and not having an income, but I don't think that families should have to choose between money and their child.

This is simply a reach out for any assistance so that I won't have to make that choice, and so that I can be there for the most important time in my babys life.
The money will be used for the daily expenses that come with taking care of a newborn and also help with bills.

My due date is July 2nd and I will be staying at my job as long as I can. I have heard other success stories from mothers had faith in others and used this site, and now I am here to see if I can  find the same kindness.

I want to thank everyone for reading this and also hope this will inspire other expecting families to not feel ashamed to reach out for help in these times of need.
