Back on our feet: Igor and twin daughters in Kyiv

Igor and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

Since my partner leaving in July, 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 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $750 goes: • Rent top-up: $260 • Childcare and after-school care: $200 • Groceries and school meals: $130 • Course fees and exam costs: $160 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
