My very bst friend got a big surprise, a BABY, she did not even know until she was 7 mths, no kidding, she didn’t show or anything, her BF has been looking for a job and is on unimployment, the only thing he has found after about a year is a job as a bouncer and that pays very little, she works for a small art company and does side work with art, she recieved unpaid maternity leave and I believe the reason she has not returned yet is because her BF does have some mentle issues and I believe she is concerned he wouldn’t be able to properly care for an infant, she was a very hardworking person before this. Her mom was able to buy her a crib and car seat but thats all, to make matters worse the child has eye problems, the doctor is worried about glocoma and she has to drive 45 minutes to the apointments atleast once a mth wich eats money in gas. I did th best I could to help her, ( once she finally let me know she is so embarrassed to be unale to do better) they had to buy the baby VERY used stuff, stained crib sheets, broken toys, she couldn’t afford oragel or a teething ring. I did the best I could for them and baought them some new toys and crib sheets and some diapers and such but I can only do so much, these are wonderful people that just need help, I told her to call the catholic charities and they informed her thy would help her once in a 12 mth period and only up to $100 on a rent or utility payment, the baby has medicaid but foodstamps has been giving them the run around, I was considering just calling random companys ( baby food clothes diapers toys first aid ect, food companys, any companys and just asking if they had any programs to to maybe send them some actually good coupons ( I have them signed up at al the useual cupon sites), or perhaps if they have a program for needy people to send out some free products. If anyone knows of any companies I should start with or is familar with any chairities that might help them get back on there feet it would really help out a great family and save alot of wasted time of me just random calling. BTW Florida is our area if that matters.
Please, this is serious so no jokes about birth control or the useual sort of stuff that gets tossed at these very serious question.
thanks
