Back on our feet: Beata and three children under 8 in Poznań
Beata and three children under 8 need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇵🇱 Poznań, Greater Poland, Poland3,258 views
Last June I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising three children under 8 on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $350
• Childcare and after-school care: $270
• Groceries and school meals: $380
• Course fees and exam costs: $200
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Beata.
Wishing you peace. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Sending love. Shared this with my family. Love from San Antonio!
Hope things get better soon, Beata. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
how is Beata doing now?
Hope things get better soon, Beata. Looking forward to the next update.
Hope it all works out, Beata. Shared it with a few friends.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope October is when things finally get easier. All the best.
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Laval
Your post was clear and honest. Love from Coventry
Wishing you the best, Beata. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Nairobi so I could bring a meal
Thanks for sharing this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Allentown
