Help Easton get through 5 hard months with twin daughters
Easton and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.
🇺🇸 United States2,793 views
Since the death of my husband in March, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 June, 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 $4,250 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,950
• Childcare and after-school care: $950
• Groceries and school meals: $810
• Course fees and exam costs: $540
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
