Since a divorce in September, I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $2,350 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $630 • Groceries and school meals: $840 • Childcare and after-school care: $880 Thank you so much. - Bengt

    The support I received was beyond what I expected. Not only did they help with the immediate need, but they also provided guidance for long-term solutions. I'm forever grateful.

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bengt!

    • Bengt LundinOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. course fees and exam costs comes first ($630) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.

  • Best of luck, Bengt. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

    • keep going. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Aurangabad.

      • Keep going, Bengt. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Uppsala

        • Hope it all works out, Bengt. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

          • Wishing you peace, Bengt. Hope this works out for you
