Back on our feet: Emery and twin daughters in Tacoma
Emery and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.
Anywhere in the world3,808 views
After the death of my husband in April, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 July, 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 $2,350 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $610
• Childcare and after-school care: $820
• Groceries and school meals: $920

I was skeptical at first, but this person proved to be reliable and genuinely interested in helping. Their response time was incredible and their solutions were practical.

so sorry you're going through this, Emery. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Emery. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings

Best of luck, Emery. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Take care
Sending strength, Emery. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page.
Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Emery. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
