Hi, I’m a 23-year-old, early in my career, and preparing for the life-changing journey of becoming a single mother. Life has thrown an unexpected challenge my way—while I’ve worked hard to reduce my debt from £30,000 to £16,000, I recently discovered I’m pregnant and will soon welcome my little one.
Although I’m entitled to Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP), it won’t be enough to cover my rent, bills, and other essentials during maternity leave. Without access to my company’s maternity pay, I’m facing the difficult task of managing debt while trying to provide a stable and loving home for my baby.
I’m hoping to raise £20,000 to help clear my remaining debt, cover living expenses, and support me through maternity leave. This would relieve an enormous financial burden, allowing me to focus on giving my baby the best possible start.
Any support, no matter how small, would make a huge difference for me and my child. Thank you so much for your generosity and kindness during this important time.
With love and gratitude,
A Grateful Mum
