Five women on what they plan to do with their stimulus check, from taking maternity leave to helping out family members nym.ag/3bzRYtC
"My maternity leave is all unpaid, because I’m a freelancer. I’m planning to take as much time as I can, until I run out of savings. The stimulus check will make a huge difference with that." — Maya, 37 nym.ag/3bzRYtC
"This is the first time in my life when I’ve had the means to be able to help my family out financially, which means a lot." — Morgan, 44 nym.ag/3bzRYtC
"Hopefully I’ll be able to buy my son some new clothes. He’s been relying on hand-me-downs, but those only go so far." — Alethia, 26 nym.ag/3bzRYtC
"I’ve had multiple miscarriages since I got married a few years ago, and last year we decided to try for IVF. Then COVID hit, and my salary was cut by 20 percent, which reduced our expendable income by a lot." — Siobhan, 41 nym.ag/3bzRYtC
"The stimulus check will be enormously helpful to keep my business above water." — Shanna, 40 nym.ag/3bzRYtC
