Back on our feet: Theresa and a toddler and a seven-year-old in Tema
Theresa and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

After my partner leaving in October, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old 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 web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by January, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $280
• Childcare and after-school care: $150
• Groceries and school meals: $135
• Course fees and exam costs: $85
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Theresa. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 10 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
