Adriana is a single parent of four children - help us after a divorce
Adriana and four children need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
🇺🇸 United States1,284 views
Last June I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, but I need to bridge the gap until then.
Some weeks I skip meals so my children can eat. I have never asked anyone for help like this before, and I'm doing it for them.
Once I finish my course, I'll pay it forward.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $3,900 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,300
• Childcare and after-school care: $710
• Groceries and school meals: $580
• Course fees and exam costs: $310
Thanks for reading all this.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Jodhpur.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Alicante.
