Back on our feet: Eileen and twin daughters in Kilkenny
Eileen and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇮🇪 Leinster, Ireland2,927 views
Since my partner leaving in September, 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 pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $3,800 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,350
• Childcare and after-school care: $600
• Groceries and school meals: $470
• Course fees and exam costs: $380
If you're reading this, thank you.

sending strength. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Eileen. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Mumbai.
