Back on our feet: Naomi and twin daughters in Fresno
Naomi and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
🇺🇸 United States5,016 views
Since a divorce in June, I'm now raising twin daughters 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 August, 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 $3,450 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $740
• Childcare and after-school care: $810
• Rent top-up: $1,900
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you and your family, Naomi. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 13 people at work.
Rooting for you, Naomi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
