Back on our feet: Eleanor and four children in Sherbrooke
Eleanor and four children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇨🇦 Quebec, Canada791 views
Since my partner leaving in July, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder 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 $2,950 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $1,000
• Course fees and exam costs: $840
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,110
If you're reading this, thank you.

Rooting for you, Eleanor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Bakersfield but we're thinking of you.
Sending good thoughts. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Sherbrooke
Take care, Eleanor. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Kasarani
