Campaign Story

Hello,
My name is Charnese. I’m from Washington DC with a family of 3 children living. I lost my oldest son in June of 2022. I also became the legal guardian of 2 relatives in 2021. I love children and it has always been my passion to raise and care for people especially children. In 2009, I had my last child. At the time I was married to the father of my children. My children father had 6 other children beside our children. In 2007 I was forced to terminate a pregnancy in which I didn’t want to but my spouse was adamant and insisted that we have no more children. In 2008 I attended couples therapy because I dealt with a lot of anxiety following the termination of my pregnancy. The couples therapy went ok for our marriage. Later that year I found out that I was expecting a child. After giving birth to my youngest son, I was forced once again to have a tubal ligation. I didn’t want to tie my tubes but my physician followed the orders of my spouse and my tubes were tied. For the past year and a half, I have been trying to conceive naturally because it’s possible to still have a child after tubal ligation. I can’t afford IVF or tubal ligation reversal. I’m praying that I can receive donations to assist me with expanding my family. If I had it my way, I would have never tied my tubes to begin with. Forever doesn’t always last forever and my partner and I would love to have at the very least a child together.
