Alexander is a single parent of four children - help us after a long illness

Alexander and four children need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

Last June I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 September, 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $700 goes: • Rent top-up: $240 • Childcare and after-school care: $175 • Groceries and school meals: $210 • Course fees and exam costs: $75 Glad we found this place.

    Quick response, great follow-up

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Honest and trustworthy

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

            Best of luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 11 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Kyiv!

              Your post was clear and honest. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.

                      Stay strong, Alexander. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
