The beginning
Charity?
But I was thinking that this blog is about mom stuff and mom issues?
And it is! exactly!
So? wait, what?
Let me explain.
Let´s go back to the times when I didn’t have a kid, I just met the man of my dreams and life was wonderful!
(not that life isn’t wonderful now.)
But this was what I was thinking.
After two years of marriage, I found myself pregnant,
And the feeling was confusion, it was not the happy jumping you usually see in movies or online or hear the stories.
I was scared, my husband was scared, we just kept walking around the apartment for two days without knowing what to do.
We finally discussed having a baby and we decided to keep the baby.
I had huge issues of my own towards having a baby because I had told everybody my whole life that I would never get a baby.
We had even agreed never to have a baby with my husband, before marriage.
Even my mom was already accustomed to the idea.
When my mom got the news, she had to sit down and think about it.
In the end, she was really happy of course.

JOURNEY
Well, now it was going to happen.
I was going to have a baby.
my visits to the hospital and nurse for the pregnancy check-up, ended always the same way, I left crying.
I knew I had to work on my issues.
My wish to talk to the psychologists got granted.
From there I started seeing the psychologists once a week for 6 months and I worked through my issues.
when the baby was born, the work continued with a special group for establishing a good relationship with the mom and the baby from early on.
This helped me and I finally got a green light after just 6 months that we would end the meetings and I need to contact them in case I would feel the need.
I grew up being a mom, it just took me some effort mentally.
My issues are nothing big compared to many other people on this planet.
My issues are quite small, but so many people are struggling.
Everyone has their problems.
The Blog
I decided to start a blog, helping other moms with their issues,
mainly because I gave birth at the start of the corona period and I was not able to access almost any services, that hospitals normally provide to pregnant women.
My information about upcoming labor was that I was handed a webpage, where I could read information myself.
and it was a lot, many pages… exhausting and I was so confused about everything.
I wanted to start a place where I can gather information for mommies.
The Charity
So, I wanted to help.
My issues were so small compared to other peoples.
I had a good life, I always got whatever I wanted to and needed.
so, I was thinking, how am I different than others,
why can’t others have a good life, as I have?
This question I asked myself and then I knew, what I wanted to do.
Everyone on this planet is someone´s baby, everyone.
Even when people get old, they are someone´s baby.
We take so good care of our children when they are babies,
but why we stop?
Our children grow old someday, we leave them to a nursing home or to survive by themselves, some people do not even have anyone to take care of them.
the charity for homeless people and people who are really poor.
People who have no one to take care of them.
If I can help even just one person, it would be enough.
This was my thought.
So I started.
This is the ultimate goal of this blog.
I am registering the charity now as I am writing this blog post and I will start working on this goal.
Everything I make with this blog I put 50% to fund that charity.
Other 50% I keep to be able to continue working towards this goal.
I will update the journey as new things come along.
For now, if you are interested, you can support the charity by buying me a coffee:
