Help Arianna get through 5 hard months with three children under 5
Arianna and three children under 5 need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇺🇸 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States2,709 views
Since a long illness in August, I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $3,850 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,050
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,600
• Groceries and school meals: $730
• Course fees and exam costs: $470
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
wishing you the best, Arianna. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Birmingham
Sending good thoughts, Arianna. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't give up. Love from Thane
