Freya is a single parent of three children under 11 - help us after a long illness
Freya and three children under 11 need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇸🇪 Stockholm, Sweden2,083 views
Since a long illness in November, I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 February, 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 $4,450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,600
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,350
• Groceries and school meals: $1,000
• Course fees and exam costs: $500
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Take care, Freya. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Wellington
Thanks for sharing this, Freya. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Stockholm
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Freya!
It's all in the list in the story. rent top-up is the big one at $1,600, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
Thinking of you, Freya. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Berlin.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Stockholm!
good luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Aurangabad.
keep going, Freya. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Bronx so I could bring a meal.
So sorry you're going through this, Freya. Your post was clear and honest
sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Lansing donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Lansing.
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
