Help Andreas get through 4 hard months with two young children
Andreas and two young children need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
🇩🇪 Duisburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany1,915 views
Last August I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a driver, 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 $2,950 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $670
• Rent top-up: $1,750
• Childcare and after-school care: $530
Thanks for reading all this.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Duisburg.
Thank you. If you're in Duisburg I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Duisburg
