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.

Munich
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.
