Help Me Prepare for My Baby’s Arrival and Build a Small Source of Income

Hello everyone,

I am reaching out with humility and hope because I am currently pregnant and expecting to give birth in November.

At this point in my pregnancy, I am doing my best to prepare for the expenses that will come with giving birth and caring for my newborn. Unfortunately, my financial resources and support are limited, and I am worried that I may not have enough to cover everything when the time comes.

I am hoping to raise ₱100,000, which is the amount I believe I will need for my delivery and the immediate needs surrounding it.

The money will be used for:

- Hospitalization and delivery expenses

- Medicines and other necessary medical expenses

- Transportation to and from the hospital

- Basic needs for my newborn

- Other necessary expenses related to giving birth

I am intentionally keeping my goal at ₱100,000 because I do not want to ask for more than what I believe I genuinely need.

Beyond preparing for my baby’s arrival, I also hope to become more financially independent. If I am able to receive additional support beyond my immediate delivery expenses, I would like to put it toward starting a very small business that can help me support my family in the future.

I am considering either an online dry-goods business or a small mushroom-growing business. My goal is not to start something large, but to have a modest source of income that I can gradually build while taking care of my family.

I know that not everyone is in a position to give, and I completely understand that. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with someone else would already mean so much to me.

Every amount, no matter how small, will help me get closer to being prepared for my baby's arrival. I will be deeply grateful for your kindness, prayers, encouragement, and support.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for helping me through this important time in my life.

With sincere gratitude,

Marichelle B.
