In 2024, I hit restart not only on my own life but for my kids too. I work a full-time job and hustle extra on the side just to make sure they have everything they need. I'm determined to provide for my family, whether or not child support comes in from their father. The reality is, when he actually pays, it helps. But let's be honest, the inconsistency is draining, and after my accident on the 25th, things got even tougher.

Being unable to work for at least 3 to 9 months is terrifying, especially knowing how much my kids depend on every dime I bring in. Imagine trying to make ends meet while waiting on a system that feels more like a gamble than a guarantee. If child support was enforced better, it would be a game changer. We wouldn’t have to fight so hard just to secure what’s already owed. My kids deserve consistency, and so does every child relying on these payments.

Critics might have their opinions, but at the end of the day, providing for my family is all that matters. Every little extra goes into our survival—keeping the bills paid and food on the table. To all of you thinking I shouldn’t have to hustle so hard, imagine how reliable and stringent child support enforcement could make a difference for families like mine. It's time we demand change for our kids’ sake and for every parent struggling to provide.

Our children can't afford to wait on unpredictable payments. Let's push for stronger child support enforcement across all states. With this, we can ensure that our kids have the security they need.
