Back on our feet: Timur and twin daughters in Yekaterinburg
Timur and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
Anywhere in the world448 views
Last August I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $950 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $165
• Rent top-up: $540
• Childcare and after-school care: $245
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
