Back on our feet: Anna and three children under 10 in Sheffield
Anna and three children under 10 need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom5,200 views
Since my partner leaving in September, I'm now raising three children under 10 on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $3,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,350
• Childcare and after-school care: $990
• Groceries and school meals: $430
• Course fees and exam costs: $430
Thanks for reading all this.

Thanks for sharing this, Anna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hope things get better soon, Anna. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
This could happen to any of us. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Vitória da Conquista
Sending good thoughts, Anna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
