They say it takes a village...

Hi there,
I need your help to feel 'visible' again.
I just turned 30years old and didn't get to celebrate the big THREE O, as life with multiple youngsters it can get quite busy.
Those close to us know the details, but the short version is that recently we were surprised with another blessing.
Recovery was a journey, as we had a life threatening close-call for both myself and little Zoey, due to 'Placenta Ubruption'. Zoey means Life!
As a mom of multiples (we now have 4 kiddos under the age of 6) I lately started feeling like I am 'fading away', becoming 'invisible as an individual', becoming 'invisible as a woman'. My identity as individual feels like it is slowly 'fading'. I hear my new name is "the mom with the bunch'o kids".
I am both proud, and greatful, to be a mom to my kiddos, however, I am so much more than "just a mom". By feeling visible, by feeling like more than "just a mom" I can 'be the best mom I can be'. Weird how that works, right!
They say it takes a village, and thats where your come in:
I need your help please - help me by donating your spare change, so I can buy equiment for my little business so I can start designing stuff, work on my creativity, my individual identity, whilst raising my kids and earning for my family and gaining a new skill. 'Feeling visible' would be such a great 30th birthday celebration!
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
Kind Regards
Demi

Thank you for your support so far 8 August 2023
Your support has made such a difference, and I just want to thank you!
I have now been able to buy a 2nd hand machine (thank you trade me) to start my little business, and soon I will be able to afford the accessories and materials and officially launch mid September.
I wouldn't have been able to do this without your support.
I thank you, with lots of gratitude & appreciation!
Kind Regards
Demi
