Back on our feet: Sabine and four children in Braunschweig

Last March I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $2,900 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $760 • Rent top-up: $1,450 • Course fees and exam costs: $690 Thanks for reading all this.
