Since a divorce in April, 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 teaching assistant 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $3,850 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,850 • Childcare and after-school care: $840 • Groceries and school meals: $850 • Course fees and exam costs: $310 Thank you so much.

  • stay strong, Kennedy. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did

    • Keep going, Kennedy. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Akron.

        Wishing you the best. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
