Back on our feet: Philipp and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in Munich
Philipp and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

Last April I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 July, 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 $2,650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,350
• Groceries and school meals: $980
• Course fees and exam costs: $320
I hope life is good to you.

how is Philipp doing now?
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Munich.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Philipp?
Stay strong, Philipp. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you. Blessings!
Thanks for sharing this, Philipp. Gave what I could, wish it was more
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Chandler.
Thanks for sharing this, Philipp. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier!
