I’ve talked about this in another thread but I’ll bring it here too. There’s also Breathlessly Mothering. She’s terminally ill with a lung disease that she was diagnosed with in her teens. She has one teen girl and two boys aged 2 and 3 (IIRC). She posts about what a struggle it is raising two very young children when she’s so ill, life-limited and oxygen dependent, and that her teen is a young carer and such a great help to her. She also writes heartbreaking, and completely sincere, posts about the hell of knowing that she will die and leave her children behind.
There was a big crowd funder this year to get her mortgage paid off, because she wants to leave her children financially secure when she dies. I know know whether it reached its target, but I’m sure it raised over £100,000. She also has her PayPal link in her bio.
‘The thing that worried me the most was my children not having any security in our home.’

The thing is, and you’d never know it from looking at her photos, she’s married. She gives every impression of being a single mother, but she isn’t. I thought maybe they’d broken up, but I’m not sure that they have. It’s almost fraudulent, especially considering the vast sums of money involved. I honestly think her husband’s existence is carefully concealed
Disclaimer: I haven’t followed this account for a long time now so maybe the husband is talked about and appears more than he used to, which was only when she’s say things like “Louis’ dad took him to preschool”. Even referring to him just as her boy’s dad is the language used by ex-partners. It seems deliberate.
