Back on our feet: Sarah and two young children in Munich
Sarah and two young children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇩🇪 Germany4,519 views
Last April I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising two young children 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 August, 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 $3,350 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,150
• Childcare and after-school care: $770
• Groceries and school meals: $610
• Course fees and exam costs: $820
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Dundee.
Praying for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Munich
Thinking of you, Sarah. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
