My girlfriend and I are 21 and 22 years old. We recently moved to Tucson, Arizona, from St. Augustine, Florida, hoping to build a better future together. Unfortunately, things have taken an unexpected and difficult turn.
My girlfriend recently had emergency surgery for appendicitis, and during that experience we found out she is 17 weeks pregnant with our first child. We are grateful that she is recovering and that we learned about our baby, but this has also made an already difficult situation even more stressful.
We are both currently without steady employment, and we are struggling to pay our upcoming rent and keep a roof over our heads. I am doing everything I possibly can to find work and bring in money. I have been getting up as early as 4:00 AM to go to day labor locations, hoping to find any work available. I am not sitting around waiting for someone to rescue us. I am doing everything in my power to support my girlfriend and our baby.
We are reaching out because we desperately need help getting through this difficult period and keeping stable housing while preparing for our child. Any assistance, whether it is help with rent, housing resources, employment opportunities, or connecting us with someone who can help, would mean more than we can express.
We are young and trying our best to build a life and become the parents our child deserves. We know times are hard for everyone, and we are truly grateful to anyone who takes the time to read our story or share it with someone who may be able to help.
Thank you for giving us a chance to get back on our feet and provide a safe, stable home for our growing family.
