Back on our feet: Eimear and two young children in Galway

Eimear and two young children need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

After a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a web developer 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $3,450 goes: • Rent top-up: $960 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,050 • Groceries and school meals: $950 • Course fees and exam costs: $490 Thank you so much.

    take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

      Thinking of you and your family, Eimear. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Yekaterinburg donated after I showed her your page.

            Wishing you the best, Eimear. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Galway.
