Piraeus
Since my partner leaving in June, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $2,100 goes: • Rent top-up: $910 • Childcare and after-school care: $620 • Groceries and school meals: $360 • Course fees and exam costs: $210 Thank you so much.

      It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Leicester but we're thinking of you. God bless

        Good luck, Natalia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 9 people at work.
