Hey guys, some of you may know me but I know a lot of you don’t.

Without going into too many details, my husband, who’s working on getting his green card but is undocumented, has run into serious legal troubles right now. I’m afraid he’s been put on the shortlist of people ICE will be patrolling for. This makes getting this legal situation sorted immediately of incredible importance to myself, him, and our 1 year old son.

I am not able to enter the workforce right now which leaves my husband the sole provider for our family– I was fired from a low wage serving job a few months ago due to the fact that I was taking medically necessary breaks to pump breast milk to feed our baby. After a lot of harassment from management, I was ultimately let go because managers had trouble covering my breaks. I’m currently recovering from post partum depression and PTSD.  This puts us in an incredibly tight spot financially. We are already struggling to meet monthly bills, but with legal bills totaling $5,000 and with rent and utilities reaching $1,800 a month we are at the end of our rope.

I’m asking for anything to help at this point. Any contribution you make no matter how small will be incredibly appreciated. Anything that you can give will be incredibly helpful to my family during this rough spot.

I completely understand if you yourself are not in the place to give financially but I just ask that you please reblog this so more people who are willing to help can. Thank you.

I’m going to add a link to my amazon wish list— it only has baby items, if you feel more comfortable doing that.

This too shall pass & my life will be better.

I am a worthy and good person. 

I am doing the best I can, given my history and level of current awareness.

Like everyone else, I am a fallible person and at times will make mistakes and am committed to learning from them.

What is, is.

Look at how much I have accomplished, and I am still progressing.

There are no failures, only different degrees of success.

Be honest and true to myself.

It is OK to let myself be distressed for awhile.

I am not helpless. I can and will take the steps needed to get through during crisis. 

I will remain engaged and involved instead of isolating and withdrawing during this situation.

This is an opportunity, instead of a threat. I will use this experience to learn something new, to change my direction, and/or to try a new approach. 

Other people are responsible for their reactions to me. 

I can stand anything for a while because I am resilient. 

In the long run, who will remember or care?
