Bereaved Mom Needs Help

My Story:

I am the mother of two absolutely amazing girls. One is here with me and the other passed away four months ago to Trisomy 18. My three year old is super energetic and sweet. My other daughter lived for 4 months and 3 days with a condition we were told would take her before both. My mister stays home and takes care of our child and I work full time to put food on the table.

A year ago I was 5 months pregnant. We went into the doctors as a family for what we thought was a routine anatomy scan. We found out that day that there was something wrong with our sweet girl. She was diagnosed with full Trisomy 18 and we were faced with many tough decisions. We opted to have our sweet girl and give her a chance at life and we are so thankful that we did. As a result of her condition however I was off work for 6 months to care for her and then to grieve. We didn't have a source of income for a couple months of that time as my paid leave had run out. We need Modest Needs help to catch up on rent.

If we get this funding it will absolutely save us! This is one of the last items that we need to get caught back up on everything. It will keep us in our home where our daughter passed.
