Help Danielle get through 5 hard months with four children

After the death of my husband, Danielle is raising four children alone and needs $3,750 to stay afloat for 5 months.

Last August I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $3,750 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,150 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,450 • Groceries and school meals: $600 • Course fees and exam costs: $550 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    Shared it with a few friends. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from St. Petersburg

          Rooting for you, Danielle. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Quezon City donated after I showed her your page. Blessings

            Thinking of you and your family. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Pune but we're thinking of you. All the best.
