Back on our feet: Volodymyr and twin daughters in Saint Petersburg
After my partner leaving, Volodymyr is raising twin daughters alone and needs $1,000 to stay afloat for 4 months.

Last May I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 August, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Rent top-up: $530
• Childcare and after-school care: $230
• Groceries and school meals: $240
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

how is Volodymyr doing now?
So sorry you're going through this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Braunschweig.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Volodymyr
Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Saint Petersburg.
Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Istanbul so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Cairo.
sending strength. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Saint Petersburg.

Sending strength, Volodymyr. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
