SAFE SPACE FOR DAUGHTER AND I

m extremely embarrassed to even start this campaign but I have no other options. I am currently 8 months pregnant and on unemployment and need to raise money to be able to afford a place to stay once the baby gets in August.

I left my daughterda father when I was 5 months pregnant due to him becoming increasingly abusive and hateful, he didn't want this baby and made it very clear. This pregnancy started off rough, I almost lost the baby and had to be one bedrest for a while I went back to work because I needed the money for bills but was fired due to missing work for doctors appointments ( I'm extremely high risk and had to see a doctor twice a week) This lead to my ex being very mean and hateful towards me

After a fight when I was leaving, being pushed among other things the police were called and I went to my current residence but it isn't a good environment here. (If you want details feel free to ask me I just don't want them public in fear of retaliation)

I have been on unemployment but it's only enough to pay rent where I currently am and to pay to get to and from my high risk doctors offices 40 minutes from my house, car insurance and to fix my car because I needed it Incase I got a job offer but I haven't been able to find a job because nobody wants to hire a uneducated pregnant woman.

I went from working 60 hours a week (20 of it being voluntary over time making 2 grand after taxes) to bed rest to a 40 hour a week job making minimum wage so all my savings was used up. This is extremely hard on me.

Because I do have a source of income I do not qualify for any assistance other than medical. I am trying my best, am going back to school, saving every dollar I can to get baby items but once she is born I will not be able to receive unemployment benefits.

It is my hope to raise some money so that I can find a roommate and have a place to stay for the first 2 months after having my daughter, I can go back to work after 8 weeks and really wish I could spend more time home with her but I have no other support system. The thought of living in my car and losing my daughter scares me to death and her father has no interest in being in her life and would only care to take her from me just to hurt me.

Anything you could donate would help me so much.
