After my partner leaving, Isaac is raising twin daughters alone and needs $3,550 to stay afloat for 6 months.

Since my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,200
• Rent top-up: $1,750
• Course fees and exam costs: $600
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

How is Isaac doing now?
sending love, Isaac. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in San Diego but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of San Antonio.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Isaac.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 21 people at work.
You're not alone, Isaac. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Dammam.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Praying for you, Isaac. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together
