Help Ella get through 5 hard months with twin daughters
A single parent in San Diego needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Ella retrains.

Since my partner leaving in April, 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 teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $3,750 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,150
• Childcare and after-school care: $900
• Groceries and school meals: $1,200
• Course fees and exam costs: $500
Glad we found this place.

sending good thoughts. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I hope July is when things finally get easier
So sorry you're going through this, Ella. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
