Adrian and four children need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Rochester
Last June I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $2,150 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $490 • Rent top-up: $1,100 • Groceries and school meals: $560 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Adrian
