Help Eliane get through 4 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school

Eliane and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

Since a long illness in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician 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 $1,000 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $220 • Rent top-up: $350 • Childcare and after-school care: $430 Thanks for being kind about this. - Eliane

Updates from Eliane

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 9% funded and I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($247 in total) the plan for groceries and school meals is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
