Back on our feet: Dylan and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in Manchester
After the death of my husband, Dylan is raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school alone and needs $2,700 to stay afloat for 4 months.

Since the death of my husband in July, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $2,700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $900
• Childcare and after-school care: $520
• Groceries and school meals: $550
• Course fees and exam costs: $730
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dylan.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent top-up comes first ($900) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Envigado but we're thinking of you. God bless
Sending love, Dylan. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 27 people at work. Greetings from Kitakyushu
Sending strength, Dylan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
praying for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Stay strong, Dylan. Hope you get there!
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Accra
Best of luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Gqeberha.
