Описание: Kicked Out While Nursing Newborn, Poor Single Mom Got $950 Abandoned Dairy—Cold Storage Had $438M

They were twenty-three and three weeks old, a single mother and her infant daughter, when the landlord's fist hammered against the apartment door at seven in the morning. Maya Torres sat on the edge of a mattress on the floor, her newborn Sophia latched to her breast, milk flowing in that ancient rhythm that connected them despite everything else falling apart. The pounding shook the thin walls, rattled the single window that overlooked a parking lot already baking under Phoenix heat that promised another hundred-degree day.
"Torres! I know you're in there! Rent was due six days ago!" The voice was loud enough to make Sophia unlatch and cry, that newborn wail that pierced straight through exhaustion and fear into something primal. Maya pressed her gently back, whispering words that meant nothing except that she was there, that she wouldn't leave, that somehow they would survive this.
The eviction notice had arrived three days earlier, taped to the door while she'd been at the clinic for Sophia's two-week checkup. Seventy-two hours to vacate. She'd paid what she could, four hundred of the nine-fifty she owed, cobbled together from the last of her savings and a loan from a coworker who could barely afford it herself. It hadn't been enough. Nothing she did was ever enough.
She'd lost her job at the call center two weeks before Sophia was born. The manager had been understanding at first, sympathetic even, when the pregnancy complications started. Preeclampsia, the doctors called it, high blood pressure that made her vision blur and her hands shake during calls. She'd been hospitalized twice in the final month, missing shifts she couldn't afford to miss, accumulating absences that compassion couldn't erase from the attendance tracker.
They'd let her go the day she returned from her second hospitalization, HR framing it as a mutual separation, offering two weeks' severance that disappeared into medical bills before she'd even given birth. The apartment she'd managed to afford on her call center salary became impossible on unemployment. The math stopped working. Rent, utilities, diapers, formula for when her milk didn't come in strong enough, it all required more than the four hundred dollars a week the state provided.
Maya had called her mother first, voice shaking as she explained the situation. Josephine Torres had listened in silence, then delivered her verdict with the cold certainty of someone who'd been waiting for this moment. "I told you that boy was no good. I told you not to get involved with him. You made your choice, Maya. Now you live with it."
"Mama, please. It's just until I find work. Just a few weeks."
"You bring that baby into my house, you follow my rules. First rule is you get rid of her."
The words hit like a physical blow. "What are you talking about?"
"Adoption. Give her to a family that can provide for her. You're twenty-three years old with no education, no husband, no prospects. That child deserves better than what you can give her."
Maya had hung up without another word, Sophia sleeping against her chest, oblivious to the grandmother who'd just rejected her existence. She'd tried her older brother next, Marcus, who'd moved to California after high school and built a life she saw only through carefully curated social media posts. His wife answered, voice pleasant until Maya explained why she was calling.
"Oh, Maya, that's... we'd love to help, but we're renovating the house right now. Everything's torn up. There's literally nowhere for you to stay."
"I don't need much. Just a couch. Just temporary."
