Back on our feet: Christopher and twin daughters in Vancouver
Christopher and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

Since a house fire in July, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $3,700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,950
• Childcare and after-school care: $780
• Groceries and school meals: $680
• Course fees and exam costs: $290
Thank you for reading my story.

sending strength, Christopher. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 13 people at work.
Hope it all works out, Christopher. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Manchester so I could bring a meal. Take care.
best of luck, Christopher. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings
I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Bacolod.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Cairo.
