Back on our feet: Grayson and twin daughters in Buffalo
Grayson and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇺🇸 Buffalo, New York, United States857 views
Last July I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 $5,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,050
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,350
• Groceries and school meals: $960
• Course fees and exam costs: $740
With deep gratitude,
Grayson

Sending love, Grayson. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings
You're not alone, Grayson. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
You're not alone, Grayson. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together.
Take care, Grayson. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. All the best
