Back on our feet: Emma and twin daughters in Venice

After the death of my husband, Emma is raising twin daughters alone and needs $3,200 to stay afloat for 4 months.

Since the death of my husband in June, 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 September, 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 $3,200 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,300 • Childcare and after-school care: $720 • Groceries and school meals: $710 • Course fees and exam costs: $470 With deep gratitude, Emma

        good luck, Emma. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

            I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
