I Spent Almost 400 Days in the Hospital with My Ill Newborn and Found Us Homeless Upon Discharge – Story of the Day
A single mother went into labor prematurely and had to spend over a year in the hospital with her baby, but when she got out, her adult son had done something she never imagined.
I never imagined I would not be able to give my child a better life.
When I got pregnant with Jace, I thought living in my late mother’s old trailer was just temporary. The pregnancy had been a surprise, but I thought I could work hard and move us into an apartment or perhaps a tiny house soon enough. However, that didn’t happen.
The bills piled up, and every time I raised even a bit, I had to spend it on some emergency. But I still worked hard, hoping that Jace would appreciate what I did for him and grow into a great man.

Jace was not the most ambitious person in the world. When he turned 18, I told him it was time to find a job, but he could stay with me until he found his footing. I never wanted to be one of those parents who kicked their kids out. That was not me. Unfortunately, Jace took that as a sign that he could stay forever.
