Screwed By Maternity Leave

I was fired from my job 2 days before maternity leave. Now I can’t work because I haven’t been physically cleared to work yet (c-section), but we also can’t afford gas and diapers because my husband is being severely underpaid, and I didn’t save enough because I expected partially paid leave. We have responsibility for 4 boys, so I’ve had to start a GoFundMe to pay for gas and diapers which is hard AF. WTF. The US SUCKS. Why do we have to deal with this?
