A single father in San Francisco needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Aiden retrains.

Since a divorce in August, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 November, 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 $2,900 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,200
• Course fees and exam costs: $490
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,210
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Aiden
Quick update: $1,040 raised so far (36%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Keep going, Aiden. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Lyon.

Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Philadelphia.
