Back on our feet: Marc and three children under 10 in Marseille
Marc and three children under 10 need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
Anywhere in the world4,103 views
After a divorce in October, I'm now raising three children under 10 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by January, 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 $2,750 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,200
• Childcare and after-school care: $700
• Groceries and school meals: $610
• Course fees and exam costs: $240
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Keep going, Marc. Looking forward to the next update
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Marseille.
Thank you. If you're in Marseille I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Take care. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Marseille.
thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Ikeja but we're thinking of you.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Quezon City
Thinking of you, Marc. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
