Last June I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 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 $1,250 goes:
• Rent top-up: $660
• Childcare and after-school care: $230
• Groceries and school meals: $220
• Course fees and exam costs: $140
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

sending strength, Konstantin. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. All the best
Thinking of you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Rio de Janeiro donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Makati.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Celaya.
you're not alone, Konstantin. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Yekaterinburg.
wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings
