Magdalena and two young children need a bridge to stability after a divorce.

Since a divorce in April, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 June, 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 $1,300 goes:
• Rent top-up: $490
• Childcare and after-school care: $280
• Groceries and school meals: $230
• Course fees and exam costs: $300
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from Magdalena
Update from Warsaw: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 8% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($110 in total) the plan for rent top-up is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 1% thanks to 1 of you. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

I hope things turn around soon. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Benin City.
Sending good thoughts, Magdalena. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings!
hang in there, Magdalena. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Warsaw.
