Back on our feet: Richard and twin daughters in Ho
Richard and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.
Anywhere in the world1,353 views
Since the death of my husband in June, 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 bookkeeper 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $280
• Childcare and after-school care: $155
• Groceries and school meals: $105
• Course fees and exam costs: $60
Thank you so much.

Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Quezon City donated after I showed her your page
how is Richard doing now?
Good luck, Richard. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Ho.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Richard.
It's all in the list in the story. rent top-up is the big one at $280, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Aswan
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Geelong!
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Richard?
Thank you. If you're in Ho I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Rooting for you, Richard. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Laredo
Thinking of you and your family, Richard. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Richard. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 25 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Best of luck, Richard. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. I hope July is when things finally get easier.
Good luck, Richard. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this, Richard. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Saint Petersburg so I could bring a meal
