Back on our feet: Hannah and four children in Manchester
A single parent in Manchester needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Hannah retrains.
🇬🇧 Manchester, England, United Kingdom1,010 views
Last June I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising four children 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 dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $4,000 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,650
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,400
• Groceries and school meals: $510
• Course fees and exam costs: $440
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

best of luck, Hannah. Hope you get there
Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Hannah. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 18 people at work. All the best.
thanks for sharing this, Hannah. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Manchester.
hope things get better soon. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Take care.
