Back on our feet: Magnus and four children in Södertälje
A single mother in Södertälje needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Magnus retrains.
🇸🇪 Södertälje, Stockholm, Sweden2,396 views
Last August I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician 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 $4,450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,100
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,150
• Groceries and school meals: $820
• Course fees and exam costs: $380
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Shared this with my family. Love from Dwarka.
So sorry you're going through this, Magnus. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Södertälje.
sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Taguig.
hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Magnus. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Pelotas
Hope things get better soon, Magnus. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
wishing you peace, Magnus. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
