Ezekiel is a single parent of a toddler and a seven-year-old - help us after a long illness
Ezekiel and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

After a long illness in October, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $3,800 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $520
• Childcare and after-school care: $870
• Rent top-up: $2,410
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Good luck. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Munich
I hope things turn around soon. After 21 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
Thanks for sharing this, Ezekiel. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Rochester.
