Back on our feet: Bianca and twin daughters in București

After a divorce, Bianca is raising twin daughters alone and needs $1,800 to stay afloat for 6 months.

Last December I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising twin daughters 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 March, 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 $1,800 goes: • Rent top-up: $780 • Childcare and after-school care: $440 • Groceries and school meals: $250 • Course fees and exam costs: $330 Glad we found this place. - Bianca

Updates from Bianca

  1. Thank you all. We're at 95% now ($1,709). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,094 in total) the plan for childcare and after-school care is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Small update. $739 so far, the plan for course fees and exam costs is now scheduled.

    Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of București.

    • Cynthia Valdez

      I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you

      • Đức Dũng Cao

        Rooting for you, Bianca. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. All the best.

        • Emiliano K. Pérez

          Praying for you, Bianca. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.

          • Graciela B. Fernández

            Thinking of you and your family, Bianca. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Yogyakarta

            • Jameson D. Wells

              Sending good thoughts, Bianca. Shared this with my family. After 24 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
