Hey! Thank you for taking the time to read my story! My name is Mariah I’m 23 years old and I am a mother of two amazing children Makayla 3 (left) and Makavelli 6 months (right). Now I’m not really sure how to do this but this is my last option. I’ve had a pretty rough year. My son Makavelli I know you’re wondering what’s on his head my son was diagnosed with something called Craniosynostosis it’s a condition where his soft spots closed early. There was nothing I could do to prevent this. In the beginning of May he was going to a regular 3 month check up and by the end of May he was having surgery on his head. They stripped the bone at the stop and slits down the sides of his skull to create space for his brain to grow. In between that time prepping him for surgery was very fast it all came at me so fast I was up at the hospital weekly for appointments one week I had on or two everyday of the week it was tiring they were poking and proding my baby it was painful to hear him cry. My 3 year old was confused I had to make sure she didn’t feel how terrified I was all while trying to work was very hard. I had very little help having to call off so much even though it was excused it became a lot and they started giving me less hours. After my car broke down leaving one of his appointments my alternator gave out on me. I had to work around the bus schedules which became a problem I had to quit my job. After my son had his surgery a week later he was fitted for a helmet and a week after that he had to wear this helmet for 23 hours a day my baby is only 4 months old at this point. He has to wear it until his first birthday. I’ve been trying to save up for another car but with losing my job I had to dip into my savings. He goes to see his neurologist and his prostetics doctor for his helmet regularly I have to catch the bus with my two children and it’s not a easy thing to do I get the stares and the whisper’s and the pointing it’s painful because he’s only a baby. While all that’s going on I’m trying to make sure I study and get my work done in a timely manner so I don’t cram. I’m in school for the association of business fundamentals my goal is to own a business by the time I’m 30. I’m trying to be the best role model for my children I can be but it’s so hard. I’m asking for donations today to help me with getting another vehicle I’m out of work at the moment because my son has to have the right care daily if it’s too hot or too cold. He has to have is washed everyday he’s uncomfortable in it so sometimes he just cries and I can put that on anyone you never know how someone will react to that kind of pressure. Anything will help me because I desperately need it my savings are now gone and bills are due soon and I’m running out of options anything helps and it means the absolute world to me and my kids I’m just trying to get ahead my PayPal is paypal.me/mamaabear23. Again thank you so much for taking the time to read my story even if you can donate thank you for your time. Have a wonderful day
