Back on our feet: Liliana and three children under 6 in London
Liliana and three children under 6 need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom3,505 views
Last October I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising three children under 6 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $2,900 goes:
• Rent top-up: $920
• Childcare and after-school care: $740
• Groceries and school meals: $840
• Course fees and exam costs: $400
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Brandon.
Thanks for sharing this, Liliana. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
