Emon and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

Jessore
After my partner leaving in February, 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 a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $300 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $40 • Childcare and after-school care: $150 • Groceries and school meals: $110 If you're reading this, thank you. - Emon

Updates from Emon

  1. Quick update: $283 raised so far (94%). I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Small update. $173 so far, the plan for groceries and school meals is now scheduled.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 54% now ($161). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

    Stay strong, Emon. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
