Back on our feet: Finn and three children under 9 in Berlin
Finn and three children under 9 need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇩🇪 Berlin, Berlin, Germany1,402 views
Since a house fire in August, I'm now raising three children under 9 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $4,550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,950
• Childcare and after-school care: $960
• Groceries and school meals: $1,000
• Course fees and exam costs: $640
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

hope you get there. Thinking of Berlin.
Hang in there, Finn. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 30 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
wishing you the best, Finn. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Berlin.
good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. Greetings from Siliguri
Hang in there. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Berlin.
Sending good thoughts, Finn. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 9 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Berlin.
