Alice and four children need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

After a house fire in May, 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 a pharmacy technician 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 $2,100 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $480
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,200
• Course fees and exam costs: $420
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. Don't give up. Thinking of Turin
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Toronto but we're thinking of you.
Thanks for sharing this, Alice. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Thane
I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Gaziantep this morning. Thinking of Turin.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Piedmont. I'll ask around and let you know
