Help Brooks get through 6 hard months with four children
A single father in Sacramento needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Brooks retrains.
🇺🇸 Sacramento, California, United States3,932 views
After a divorce in August, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 October, 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 $3,950 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,550
• Childcare and after-school care: $890
• Groceries and school meals: $510
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thanks for sharing this, Brooks. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Kitakyushu donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Take care, Brooks. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Sacramento.
Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Juiz de Fora.
