Angela is a single parent of twin daughters - help us after the death of my husband
Angela and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

After the death of my husband in July, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Rent top-up: $960
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,350
• Groceries and school meals: $690
• Course fees and exam costs: $300
If you're reading this, thank you.

Thinking of you, Angela. Shared this with my family
Wishing you the best, Angela. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Peoria
thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Yokohama donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
praying for you, Angela. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Peoria.
