Crystal is a single parent of twin daughters - help us after my partner leaving
Crystal and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom507 views
Last August I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a driver, 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 $2,950 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,100
• Rent top-up: $1,500
• Course fees and exam costs: $350
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Crystal?
Thank you. If you're in Leicester I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
best of luck, Crystal. Hope you get there. Love from Londrina.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Crystal
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. childcare and after-school care comes first ($1,100) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
thinking of you, Crystal. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Radom so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Leicester
Rooting for you, Crystal. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Feira de Santana
hope things get better soon, Crystal. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 35 people at work. All the best
Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Houston
Hang in there, Crystal. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending good thoughts, Crystal. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
