Hello! Good day to everyone! I am writing this because I want to give my baby a brighter and better future. The baby is still 11 weeks old and I don't know the gender yet but if it's a girl I'll name her Sophia, and if it's a boy I'll name him Drake.

I am 23 years old and I'm really shy and ashamed that I have to resort to this campaign in order for me to have money. I'll go by the name Angela. Right now, I am really deperate and would love to get some help for me and my baby's future. For mothers out there, you know how I'm feeling, that feeling that you want to do everything and anything in your power for your child.

Here's the story. I haven't graduated college yet and I've been studying for about 7 years now. Due to financial difficulties I was forced to stop studying and work for a while. I just have 2 semesters left in college and that is why I wanted to start this campaign. I just recently quit my job due to medical reasons. That time, I was not aware that I'm pregnant. I only found out 2 weeks after. Right now, I'm struggling with getting a job because if you want to work for a good company and a high salary here in the Philippines you must be a college graduate. Another struggle was, my doctor advised me not to work because my pregnancy is sensitive. It's best for me to just rest and not do much. I could not apply in fast food chains or department store because that would be stressful for the baby. But with all the medical expenses and other bills I just can't sit around. The father of the child left me a week after knowing that I'm pregnant. He cheated on me and told me he doesn't love me anymore. So now I'm left with the baby and all the expenses. Right now, only my friends know that I'm pregnant and they were the one who are my support system through these hard times.

I have thought of getting an abortion (which is illegal here, btw) or even adoption. I also had suicidal thoughts due to depression. But my friends helped me through tough times. I have always dreamt of being a mother and wife. Even if I can't be a CEO of a company, I would feel fulfilled and complete just by being an awesome mom. Now I'm feeling that my dreams are being crushed right in front of my eyes. And my baby would be coming out of this world with me as it's mother. A person who haven't finished college yet, who's been cheated on and left alone and has no capacity to provide for her child.

Elaborating on my story. My sibling also stopped studying college. Both of my parents are already in a lot of debt. My mom has a lot of credit card bills. Our day to day expenses are came from borrowed money also. So I cannot rely on my parents for the medical expenses.

I put thought into it and my plan right now is to finish the last semester of my college course. Which led me to this site. I still have a pending balance from the previous semester from which I also need to pay back. My plan is to finish the last semester and graduate so I could get a decent high paying job that could sustain the needs for my baby.

I am asking for your help with this dilemma of mine. I am asking for kind hearted people to help me. Even $1 or $5 is already a big amount. I know that I may not give back all that will be given to me, but I know that God will bless you more than what you give. I would be forever grateful to those who would spare some money to help me. I am really desperate and is still feeling a little depressed and I hope this could cheer me up cause I don't want the baby to feel stressed too.

As early as now, I am thanking you for even just reading this. I want to be optimistic and hopeful for my baby's future. I am excited for the baby to come out and be a wonderful mother. All excess money that I would raise would go medical and hospital expenses for my baby. I am hoping that you could share that joy with me. I would really appreciate it. Thank you and God bless you.

xoxo,

Angela
