Help Allan get through 4 hard months with four children

Allan and four children need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

Since a sudden redundancy in July, I'm now raising four 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $600 goes: • Rent top-up: $210 • Childcare and after-school care: $130 • Groceries and school meals: $210 • Course fees and exam costs: $50 Thank you for reading my story. - Allan

      I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Glasgow but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
