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.
🇺🇦 Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine872 views
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.

Praying for you, Alexander. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
rooting for you, Alexander. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together.
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.
wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Coventry

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.
