Abdul and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

Since a sudden redundancy in January, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $240
• Childcare and after-school care: $75
• Groceries and school meals: $85
• Course fees and exam costs: $100
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rooting for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Lyon
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Addis Ababa this morning. Love from Addis Ababa
