Back on our feet: Elias and four children in Mesa
Elias and four children need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.
🇺🇸 United States4,497 views
Since the death of my husband in August, 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 dental nurse 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 $2,900 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,300
• Course fees and exam costs: $320
• Rent top-up: $1,280
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
