Last June I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $3,850 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $830
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,150
• Rent top-up: $1,870
With deep gratitude,
Claire

Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Los Angeles
Good luck, Claire. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Love from Sukkur.
Sending love, Claire. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Los Angeles.
Sending love, Claire. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings
