Harper is a single parent of twin daughters - help us after a house fire
Harper and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇺🇸 Eugene, Oregon, United States2,033 views
Since a house fire in May, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $3,200 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $300
• Rent top-up: $1,700
• Groceries and school meals: $1,200
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Best of luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Kisumu donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
best of luck, Harper. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
