Back on our feet: Weston and a toddler and a seven-year-old in Leeds
Weston and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom1,663 views
Since a long illness in June, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 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 $2,600 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $690
• Course fees and exam costs: $660
• Rent top-up: $1,250
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. I hope August is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Praying for you, Weston. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 12 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Makati.
