Gabriel is a single parent of two young children - help us after the death of my husband
Gabriel and two young children need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Last May I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $3,250 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,000
• Childcare and after-school care: $930
• Groceries and school meals: $690
• Course fees and exam costs: $630
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending love, Gabriel. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Oakland.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Allentown!
Praying for you, Gabriel. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
