"Our baby was born with a tumor the size of a golf ball in her throat and had to be airlifted to a NICU in another city. Living in a country that doesn't offer maternity or paternity leave is one of the greatest anxieties I've ever encountered."
- Gina, Nevada
"When I was 7 months pregnant, I was forced into a leave of absence because I was a 'liability.' I eventually had to re-apply to get my job back, and as a single mother managing my family's expenses without paid maternity leave was a struggle."
- Kaya, former McDonald's employee, Michigan
"I went back to work 4 weeks after I had my baby because I couldn't afford to stay home any longer. Even though my baby was in the NICU for a week and needed me, I had no choice but to go back to work."
- Jenny, Lowe's
"I was able to take all the time I needed - 12 weeks paid, and the option of 12 weeks unpaid bonding - to be with my daughter. This time allowed me to heal properly and bond with my baby. Everyone should have access to these types of benefits."
- Marissa, Bank of America, Texas
"I didn't have any paid parental leave when my child was born, so I took time off without a paycheck, which was a struggle for me. I had to rely on state help to feed my family.
- Amanda, McDonald's, Illinois
