Gabriel and two young children need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

After a sudden redundancy in May, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 September, 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 $2,250 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $710 • Childcare and after-school care: $560 • Rent top-up: $980 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Gabriel

    Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 26 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

    • Garima Verma

      Shared this with my family. Thinking of Hamilton.

      • Garima H. Jat

        Good luck, Gabriel. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. All the best.

        • Henry R. Jones

          Keep going. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Gulu so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Cologne.

          • Ángel N. Cordero

            Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Sacramento

            • Claudia T. Franco

              praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Take care
