Back on our feet: Thiện and twin daughters in Los Angeles
Thiện and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
Anywhere in the world2,487 views
Last July I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising twin daughters 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 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 $2,450 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $730
• Childcare and after-school care: $940
• Groceries and school meals: $780
Glad we found this place.

Keep going, Thiện. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
Take care, Thiện. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
Keep going, Thiện. Hope you get there.
You're not alone, Thiện. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
keep going. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Looking forward to the next update. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Sending strength. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Best of luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Kochi.
