After a divorce in December, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by February, 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 $2,400 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $590 • Childcare and after-school care: $630 • Rent top-up: $1,180 Thank you so much. - Amélie

Updates from Amélie

  1. Quick update: $1,407 raised so far (59%). I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($813 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. We're at 18% thanks to 13 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.

    Rooting for you, Amélie. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. It's not much but it's yours

    • Jasmine E. Hylton

      Sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best

      • Cristian B. Velasco

        your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Saint-Denis.

        • Caroline Zawadi Nabwire

          So sorry you're going through this, Amélie. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

            You're not alone, Amélie. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
