Help Angela get through 4 hard months with a toddler and a seven-year-old
Angela and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
Anywhere in the world4,784 views
After a sudden redundancy in June, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 September, 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 $3,400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $820
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,600
• Groceries and school meals: $560
• Course fees and exam costs: $420
With deep gratitude,
Angela

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Stellenbosch donated after I showed her your page
Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Seongnam
Thinking of you, Angela. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Berlin this morning. Blessings.
