After a sudden redundancy in June, I'm now raising twin daughters 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 teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $310
• Childcare and after-school care: $120
• Groceries and school meals: $190
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
If you're reading this, thank you.

Take care, Sara. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope October is when things finally get easier. God bless
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sara?
Thank you. If you're in Mansoura I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Nottingham but we're thinking of you!
Hope things get better soon, Sara. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours.
Sending strength, Sara. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Mansoura.
