Back on our feet: Olivier and four children in Brest
After my partner leaving, Olivier is raising four children alone and needs $3,900 to stay afloat for 4 months.
🇫🇷 Brest, Brittany, France937 views
After my partner leaving in July, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $3,900 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,700
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,250
• Groceries and school meals: $520
• Course fees and exam costs: $430
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Philadelphia
is there anything that isn't money that would help Olivier?
Thank you. If you're in Brest I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Sending good thoughts, Olivier. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Kochi.
hope it all works out, Olivier. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted.
wishing you peace. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless
Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Campinas but we're thinking of you. All the best
