Back on our feet: Luna and four children in Houston

Luna and four children need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

Houston
After a house fire in June, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 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 $4,300 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $1,200 • Rent top-up: $2,550 • Course fees and exam costs: $550 Glad we found this place. - Luna
