Back on our feet: Vincent and twin daughters in Paris
After a long illness, Vincent is raising twin daughters alone and needs $1,750 to stay afloat for 6 months.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France787 views
Since a long illness in June, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $1,750 goes:
• Rent top-up: $800
• Course fees and exam costs: $300
• Childcare and after-school care: $650

Sending strength. Hope you get there. Thinking of Paris.
rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. After 30 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Praying for you, Vincent. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Manchester but we're thinking of you. Take care
