London
Since a house fire in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a dental nurse 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $2,100 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $1,250 • Groceries and school meals: $540 • Course fees and exam costs: $310 Thanks for reading all this. - Reagan

        Is childcare and after-school care the biggest cost or is there more coming?

        • Julien Giraud

          I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of London.

              Take care, Reagan. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Soweto.

                Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Toronto donated after I showed her your page. Love from Toronto.

                    Keep going, Reagan. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 10 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Poitiers
