Back on our feet: Oleksandr and two young children in Kyiv
Oleksandr and two young children need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
🇺🇦 Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine1,361 views
Since a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician 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 $500 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $140
• Rent top-up: $230
• Groceries and school meals: $130
With deep gratitude,
Oleksandr

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Oleksandr.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. course fees and exam costs is the biggest at $140. Appreciate you taking the time.
stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Aswan.
sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Kyiv.
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Sending good thoughts. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Tokyo but we're thinking of you. Love from Tokyo
