Help Dineo get through 3 hard months with a toddler and a seven-year-old
Dineo and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
Anywhere in the world474 views
Since a divorce in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old 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 bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $1,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $510
• Childcare and after-school care: $155
• Groceries and school meals: $320
• Course fees and exam costs: $115
Thank you for reading my story.

This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Dineo?
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Recife but we're thinking of you. God bless
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dineo
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent top-up is the biggest at $510. Thanks, that means a lot.
thinking of you, Dineo. Hope you get there. God bless.
Sending love. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Badagry
thinking of you and your family, Dineo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Soweto
Good luck, Dineo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Jeddah this morning.
