Back on our feet: Bintou and twin daughters in Boulogne-Billancourt
After my partner leaving, Bintou is raising twin daughters alone and needs $2,800 to stay afloat for 5 months.

Last September I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $2,800 goes:
• Rent top-up: $770
• Childcare and after-school care: $680
• Groceries and school meals: $820
• Course fees and exam costs: $530
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Best of luck, Bintou. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
Thinking of you and your family, Bintou. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best
