Help Britt get through 4 hard months with three children under 12
Britt and three children under 12 need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
Anywhere in the world3,782 views
After a house fire in February, I'm now raising three children under 12 on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $3,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,850
• Course fees and exam costs: $450
• Groceries and school meals: $900
If you're reading this, thank you.

Best of luck. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Britt!
It's all in the list in the story. rent top-up is the big one at $1,850, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Kathmandu but we're thinking of you.
Thinking of you and your family, Britt. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
How is Britt doing now?
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted. Love from Surabaya
Thanks for sharing this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
