I Spent Almost 400 Days in the Hospital with My Ill Newborn and Found Us Homeless Upon Discharge – Story of the Day

When I got pregnant with Jace, I thought we’d only stay in my late mother’s trailer temporarily, but life had other plans. Bills piled up, and despite my hard work, Jace didn’t grow into the ambitious man I hoped he’d become. At 22, he still had a minimum wage job, and I was struggling when I unexpectedly became pregnant again.

I gave birth prematurely and spent over a year in the hospital with my newborn son, Luke. During that time, Jace had a change of heart. He worked extra shifts, sold the trailer, and surprised me by buying us a small house. It needed repairs, but it was ours.

Jace had matured and wanted to repay me for all my sacrifices. Life wasn’t perfect after that, but we worked hard and made it through together.
