Back on our feet: Noam and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in Tel Aviv
Noam and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

After a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $1,950 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,200
• Course fees and exam costs: $280
• Groceries and school meals: $470
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

This is the kind of person who restores your faith in humanity. They didn't just offer help; they genuinely cared about my wellbeing and followed through on every commitment.

Couldn't have asked for better support. They listened carefully, understood my situation deeply, and provided thoughtful advice that actually worked. Thank you so much.

Rooting for you, Noam. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Tel Aviv.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Noam.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent top-up is the biggest at $1,200. It helps to be asked.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 34 people at work. Take care.
Thinking of you, Noam. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Thinking of Tel Aviv
Praying for you, Noam. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Christchurch.
hang in there, Noam. Shared this with my family. Take care.
