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.

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 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Quick response, great follow-up

    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.
