Back on our feet: Ioanna and twin daughters in Athens
A single mother in Athens needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Ioanna retrains.
🇬🇷 Greece2,186 views
After a divorce in August, 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 bookkeeper 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 $2,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $820
• Childcare and after-school care: $430
• Groceries and school meals: $490
• Course fees and exam costs: $360
Thanks for reading all this.
