Help Chloe get through 5 hard months with three children under 7
Chloe and three children under 7 need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
Anywhere in the world2,248 views
Last December I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising three children under 7 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 March, 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 $4,850 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,250
• Childcare and after-school care: $940
• Groceries and school meals: $900
• Course fees and exam costs: $760
Thanks for being kind about this.

You're not alone, Chloe. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Hang in there, Chloe. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Thanks for sharing this, Chloe. Shared this with my family.
Hope it all works out, Chloe. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Sending good thoughts, Chloe. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.

Take care. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 12 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Anaheim.
