Tampa
Since a house fire in August, 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 teaching assistant 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 $3,250 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $710 • Rent top-up: $1,750 • Course fees and exam costs: $790 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Everly

  1. Update from Tampa: the plan for course fees and exam costs is now scheduled. We're at 63% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 30% now ($960). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
