Help Clara get through 5 hard months with twin daughters
After the death of my husband, Clara is raising twin daughters alone and needs $2,750 to stay afloat for 5 months.

Last August I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $2,750 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,200
• Childcare and after-school care: $830
• Course fees and exam costs: $720
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care, Clara. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Glendale.
Stay strong, Clara. Shared this with my family
Wishing you the best, Clara. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Gwagwalada.
wishing you the best. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Glendale.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Glendale
