Childcare help and general help!
Hi all, Im an elementary teacher and was diagnosed with a high risk pregnancy complication. My family was doing well until this summer when I was put on strict bed rest and I lost out on summer work. On top of the lost income was my increased medical expenses for injections and transfusions that I have to rely on until i deliver. Im supposed to stay on bed rest but have no choice to return to work in order to keep my insurance. I need help paying for childcare for my youngest so I can return to work.
The full amount I need is $1200 in order to pay childcare to cover August and September. It would cover childcare during my hospital stay as well so I wouldn't have to leave my kids alone for 3 to 5 days.
I also would really appreciate positive energy, prayers, good vibes, anything encouraging and optimistic be sent my way. Im possibly facing death in 4 to 6 weeks and the only positive I can think from it is at least I have life insurance.
