Back on our feet: Leif and a toddler and a seven-year-old in Stockholm
After my partner leaving, Leif is raising a toddler and a seven-year-old alone and needs $2,350 to stay afloat for 3 months.

Last June I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,100
• Course fees and exam costs: $490
• Groceries and school meals: $760
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there, Leif. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. God bless.
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. Don't give up.
take care, Leif. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Hang in there. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
