Back on our feet: James and twin daughters in Bristol
A single mother in Bristol needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while James retrains.
🇬🇧 Bristol, England, United Kingdom3,647 views
Since a divorce 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 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 $3,750 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,600
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,000
• Groceries and school meals: $830
• Course fees and exam costs: $320
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

thanks for sharing this, James. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Hamburg so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
