Back on our feet: John Paul and twin daughters in Quezon City
After the death of my husband, John Paul is raising twin daughters alone and needs $550 to stay afloat for 5 months.

Since the death of my husband in April, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 June, 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 $550 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $220
• Rent top-up: $175
• Childcare and after-school care: $155
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Rooting for you, John Paul. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Kyiv but we're thinking of you. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, John Paul. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Regina
You're not alone. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Sacramento.
