Christina and three children under 11 need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

After a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 December, 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 $2,300 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $380 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,050 • Groceries and school meals: $870 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Christina

  1. Small update. $1,283 so far, the plan for course fees and exam costs is now scheduled.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($195 in total) the plan for childcare and after-school care is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
