After my partner leaving in April, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 July, 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 $1,650 goes: • Rent top-up: $490 • Childcare and after-school care: $480 • Groceries and school meals: $370 • Course fees and exam costs: $310 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

              can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Cluj-Napoca!

                Thank you. If you're in Cluj-Napoca I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.

            • Hope it all works out, Bogdan. Your post was clear and honest.

              • Stay strong, Bogdan. Shared this with my family. Take care.

                • Wishing you peace, Bogdan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.

                  • Take care. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Cluj-Napoca.

                      • A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Cluj. I'll ask around and let you know
