Back on our feet: Frank and twin daughters in Hamburg
A single mother in Hamburg needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Frank retrains.
🇩🇪 Hamburg, Germany4,431 views
After 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 bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $3,150 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,950
• Groceries and school meals: $650
• Childcare and after-school care: $550
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Praying for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Ribeirão Preto!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Frank.
It's all in the list in the story. rent top-up is the big one at $1,950, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
Rooting for you, Frank. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Auckland so I could bring a meal. God bless.

sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Mumbai
