Benoît is a single parent of four children - help us after the death of my husband
Benoît and four children need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Last June I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $3,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,300
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,000
• Groceries and school meals: $490
• Course fees and exam costs: $410
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
