Jennifer, a devoted single mother, found herself in a challenging situation after her husband Adam walked out on her when she was expecting their fourth child. “Another child to feed? No way! I’ve had enough!” Adam exclaimed before leaving their home and initiating a divorce.
Jennifer was crushed. Although the pregnancy was unplanned, she hoped Adam would stand by her side through the tough times they were already facing. To her despair, Adam stopped providing financial support, citing lack of employment due to not completing college.
Needing to provide for her family, Jennifer began searching for work shortly after giving birth. She persevered through numerous rejections as business owners were hesitant to hire someone with young children. “It’s difficult to hire mothers with young children,” she was often told. “Sickness or other issues happen, and it affects work reliability.”
