The brave woman and future mother, Amanda, was dreaming of having a family of her own for years. Every month she hoped and prayed that this would be the one where she would finally become pregnant, but month after month, it was not to be. She put her hope in every doctor appointment, every ultrasound, and every pregnancy test, only to be disappointed time and time again. After so many years of disappointment, Amanda finally got the news she had been waiting for: she was pregnant. The joy and celebration surrounding Amanda’s pregnancy quickly faded as her husband announced that he was leaving her behind so he could pursue his life without her. His decision to abandon her came when she was eight months into her pregnancy. As you can imagine, Amanda was devastated; after all these years of trying to get pregnant, and now it seemed that everything was going to be taken away from her.
Although Amanda’s situation is heartbreaking, it must also be said that in light of the current social climate around fertility issues, it is important for those struggling with infertility to know that they are not alone. There are many couples out there who are facing similar struggles. Additionally, while Amanda’s husband made a difficult decision to leave her during a very vulnerable moment in their lives together, it is important to remember that every situation is different, and people should not judge others based on what they may think or hear about someone else’s story.
Finally, although this may be a difficult time for Amanda and other women who have experienced similar situations with their partners, it can still be an opportunity for self-reflection and growth; the experience can help women recognize what really matters most in their lives—the relationships and people who truly appreciate them—and help them move forward in life with even more strength and resilience than before. No matter what, Amanda can rest assured that her baby will always be surrounded by love and care. Fortunately, Amanda’s friend signed her up for the “give back” segment on KIIS 1065. The show heard Amanda’s tragic story and was willing to do what it could to help her get her life back. “It’s been about five weeks since it happened,” Amanda told the show’s listeners. “And the biggest thing is just the shock. I guess because it wasn’t really what we planned or what I planned.”
The host of the show then asked Amanda to do one simple thing – look behind her. She watched a video of her house as the program took her on a virtual tour of her living quarters. Amanda noticed a vacuum cleaner with Scrubb Online Cleaning Service listed across it. Then, she saw what the show wanted her to see. Her house was being cleaned on her behalf. Then she got another surprise. Her fridge was stocked with food from Eat Fit Foods. They agreed to deliver three months of supplies to Amanda to support her during the final weeks of her pregnancy. Then the camera panned to her oven. Amanda cried tears of joy as the door opened to reveal a wad of cash worth $10,000. Middlesex Academy Learning Centre donated it to help pay for Amanda’s mortgage. “I can’t tell you how much this means to me….” Amanda said, crying. “This means I don’t have to move!”
