A single mother in Sherbrooke needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Adrian retrains.

Since a house fire in June, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 October, 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 $3,200 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,200
• Course fees and exam costs: $790
• Groceries and school meals: $1,210
Every share and every dollar helps.

So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Pittsburgh.
Wishing you the best, Adrian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Best of luck, Adrian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Sherbrooke.
