Back on our feet: Charlotte and three children under 10 in Munich
Charlotte and three children under 10 need a bridge to stability after a divorce.

Last April I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising three children under 10 on my own. I work as a driver, 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 August, 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 $4,050 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,000
• Childcare and after-school care: $580
• Groceries and school meals: $900
• Course fees and exam costs: $570
Glad we found this place.
Updates from Charlotte
Small update. $1,808 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 38% funded and I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
Update from Munich: we've started the first stage. We're at 23% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours
stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Gqeberha!
Rooting for you, Charlotte. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Munich.
looking forward to the next update. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
Wishing you peace, Charlotte. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
