Back on our feet: Jacob and twin daughters in Allentown
A single father in Allentown needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Jacob retrains.

Since the death of my husband in September, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician 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 $2,550 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $1,300
• Rent top-up: $810
• Course fees and exam costs: $440
