Back on our feet: Fitzroy and three children under 8 in Spanish Town
Fitzroy and three children under 8 need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.
🇯🇲 Saint Catherine, Jamaica1,746 views
Since the death of my husband in September, I'm now raising three children under 8 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 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 $1,000 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $170
• Rent top-up: $380
• Childcare and after-school care: $450
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Best of luck, Fitzroy. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 9 people at work. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Fitzroy. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Accra this morning.
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 13 people at work.
So sorry you're going through this, Fitzroy. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Spanish Town.
Thinking of you, Fitzroy. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Niterói donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Augsburg.
