I miscarried my baby at 12 weeks, and I miss them so dearly.
I knew that baby with all that I am, and God took them away from me.
I know that it is normal for a child to become angry with their Father, but it’s so hard to shake.
Pray for me, please, or comfort me. Anything.
God Bless you all.
I am so sorry for your loss sister. I don’t know why the Lord called your child home so early, but I pray that whatever the reason will make you stronger and closer to Him instead of the opposite. May He give you comfort and healing in this time of mourning. Go bless you and your family. <3
Oh no how dare people advocate that innocent preborn children shouldn’t be dismembered in the womb.
Must go firebomb and graffiti their office, because we believe in freedom…or something…
Then they’ll turn around and pretend they’re advocates for human rights and well-being and ish like they didn’t just infringe on both. But since their opponents are on the “wrong” side, it’s magically okay to harass and wish death upon them because they’re somehow doing the same thing by not advocating for baby deaths. Cue the same, old, tired, BS argument of putting fetuses over mothers’ lives and “forcing” them to carry to term because we dare to say murdering the unborn is unacceptable…even when alternatives and support are given.
Because humans can only care about one group at a time…/s
Hello friend, I’m in a bit of a bad situation right now and would really appreciate some assistance. You can definitely help without spending any money, so please take a minute to read this post!
What’s going on is that I am expecting a baby in August. His name is Finn and he’s adorable. Here’s a picture:
Obviously that’s an ultrasound, since he won’t be born for 2-3 more months, so you can’t really see his face or anything. Trust me, though, he’s adorable. His dad, unfortunately, got on some heavy drugs and took off when I was about four months pregnant and since he’s now a homeless drug addict who has disappeared into the great beyond, he is useless to do anything to help with this baby.
Which leaves me a single mother. I currently live with two roommates which keeps the cost of living affordable, but they need to move in August and I’m unable to come with them. Therefore I need to get a new apartment by August, which you may recall is the month that my precious baby child is due. Obviously, I need to be moved and have my place set up BEFORE Finn makes his grand entrance into the world, which means I’m pretty limited on time.
In case that wasn’t all fun enough, I’m a waitress. This is especially bad because since it’s a physical job that requires me to be on my feet for my entire shifts, there are only so many hours I can work at seven months pregnant. Plus, I will be medically obligated to go on maternity leave after Finn is born so there will be an entire month that I am physically unable to work. At the same time that I will be moving into my new apartment and paying more for rent.
My saving grace is that I write short comedy stories which are free to read BUT I do take donations on the site where I post them. I need to supplement my income with those donations in order to survive, especially in my current situation. The only problem is that my stories and website are still mostly undiscovered and lack of readers/views = lack of donations.
So please check out my stories and donate if you can, or signal boost and encourage others to do the same. Even if you aren’t personally able to spare anything (and I understand that money’s tight for almost everyone) just visiting the website or spreading the word would help immensely in getting me closer to making enough on donations to afford the basic costs of living, at least up until I’m able to return to a normal number of working hours.
If you wouldn’t mind helping out, it would really mean a lot to me (and my baby son, once he’s old enough to understand the concept of gratitude.)

Guys PLEASE signal boost this. I managed to move into my permanent apartment but between the cost of that and my parents suddenly demanding $600 out of spite, I have almost no savings left. I have to go on maternity leave in less than a month and with the number of hours I’m able to work in this condition I’m averaging about $100 a week. I can’t save up almost anything at that rate and there’s going to be 1-2 months where site donations are the ONLY form of income I’ll have to support myself and Finn. If you have any possible way to help spread the word and bring attention to this site, we REALLY need your help.
Continuing to spread this as much as I can while there’s still time, cause Finn’s due on August 18.

Hey guys, quite a while back I tried to save up some money for my aunt who was hospitalized after suffering a small stroke. Unfortunately I couldn’t raise up enough money in time before my aunt got released. But now my aunt is back in the hospital again now that she’s just suffered another stroke. I hope to make up for my first attempt and meet my goal this time. Please spread this around you guys and donate if you can! http://www.gofundme.com/wn4m89ss
Hey everyone! I know I just posted asking for financial support for myself, but this is extremely important.

A friend og mine once worked at Maggie’s Place, and she had nothing but amazing stories to tell. Women’s lives are really changed through this organization.
have you seen this?? This is awesome!
I think I’ve seen this before, but yes, this is awesome.
And there are other similar places throughout the country.
Your local pregnancy center can tell you about resources in your area, from adoption agencies to maternity homes to affordable prenatal care and more.
For instance, I know a maternity home in Southern California that specifically helps teen moms. They provide a safe place to live, prenatal care, job training, and adoption help (if the girls choose adoption). They also run a private high school in-house so the girls can graduate while caring for their child. The girls can stay there up to two years after their baby is born.
So wherever you live, there are resources nearby that want to help! OptionLine.org lists local resources, and your local pregnancy center can give you a more comprehensive list.
