Back on our feet: Todd and two young children in Coventry

Todd and two young children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

Coventry
Last March I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 June, 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 $3,400 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,400 • Childcare and after-school care: $900 • Groceries and school meals: $520 • Course fees and exam costs: $580 With deep gratitude, Todd

    Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Gangnam donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Coventry.

    • Liam K. Nolan

      hope it all works out, Todd. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

            Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings

              I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Mohammedia so I could bring a meal.

              • Peyton Davidson

                Praying for you, Todd. Hope this works out for you.
