Last August I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising three children under 7 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 dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $3,850 goes: โ€ข Rent top-up: $1,800 โ€ข Groceries and school meals: $770 โ€ข Childcare and after-school care: $1,280 Thanks for reading all this. - Logan

        wishing you the best. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Grand Rapids.

          Sending strength, Logan. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 28 people at work.

            Good luck, Logan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
