Back on our feet: Boubacar and three children under 8 in Poitiers
A single parent in Poitiers needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Boubacar retrains.

Since a long illness in June, I'm now raising three children under 8 on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $4,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,450
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,300
• Groceries and school meals: $640
• Course fees and exam costs: $710
Thanks for being kind about this.
- Boubacar
