Back on our feet: Mathilda and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in Dortmund
Mathilda and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

Since my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 December, 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 $2,650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,150
• Childcare and after-school care: $640
• Groceries and school meals: $500
• Course fees and exam costs: $360
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Praying for you, Mathilda. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Dortmund
Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Cardiff donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Hang in there, Mathilda. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Rawalpindi donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
