Help Alexa get through 4 hard months with a toddler and a seven-year-old
Alexa and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇺🇸 United States825 views
Since my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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 $3,550 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $810
• Rent top-up: $1,900
• Groceries and school meals: $840
Every share and every dollar helps.

Best of luck, Alexa. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Any update on how things are going in Scranton?
Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Scranton.
Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Hang in there, Alexa. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Alexa. Shared this with my family.
Keep going, Alexa. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
