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.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom1,483 views
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

Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,141 in total) the plan for childcare and after-school care is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Gangnam donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Coventry.
hope it all works out, Todd. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
So sorry you're going through this, Todd. Shared this with my family.
good luck, Todd. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
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.
Praying for you, Todd. Hope this works out for you.
Sending good thoughts, Todd. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Love from Mangaluru.
