Back on our feet: Amelia and three children under 5 in Winnipeg

After the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 November, 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 $2,000 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $410 • Groceries and school meals: $840 • Childcare and after-school care: $750 Thank you so much.
