Back on our feet: Olivia and twin daughters in Sacramento
Olivia and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇺🇸 95844, Sacramento, California, United States1,718 views
Last May I went through a house fire, and 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 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 $2,300 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $720
• Groceries and school meals: $970
• Course fees and exam costs: $610
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Olivia
Update from Sacramento: I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care. We're at 20% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

so sorry you're going through this, Olivia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Varanasi but we're thinking of you. All the best
Best of luck, Olivia. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
thinking of you and your family, Olivia. Hope you get there. Take care.
Praying for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to București so I could bring a meal. Greetings from San Jose.
Sending love, Olivia. It takes guts to ask. Well done
You're not alone, Olivia. Hope this works out for you. Blessings
