Back on our feet: Gilles and twin daughters in Saint-Denis

Gilles and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

Saint-Denis
After a long illness in May, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $2,450 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $290 • Childcare and after-school care: $930 • Rent top-up: $1,230 I hope life is good to you.

    hope things get better soon. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in Bursa donated after I showed her your page.

    • Bianca Maria Bezerra

      Good luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Anaheim so I could bring a meal

      • Emmanuel R. Ramos

        best of luck, Gilles. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together

        • Umar Arslan Rana

          Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Saint-Denis

          • Hamza Zeeshan Orakzai

            Sending good thoughts, Gilles. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Nakuru so I could bring a meal. Take care.
