Ebba is a single parent of a toddler and a seven-year-old - help us after a sudden redundancy
Ebba and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
Anywhere in the world2,500 views
After a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $3,500 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $460
• Rent top-up: $2,200
• Groceries and school meals: $840
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Greetings from Mangaluru.
Best of luck, Ebba. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. God bless
thinking of you and your family. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps
Praying for you, Ebba. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Lagos.
