Help Elsa get through 6 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school

Elsa and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

After my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school 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 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $600 goes: • Rent top-up: $180 • Childcare and after-school care: $95 • Groceries and school meals: $165 • Course fees and exam costs: $160 Thanks for reading all this.

    Thinking of you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Love from Santa Fe.

      Is there anything that isn't money that would help Elsa?

        hope things get better soon, Elsa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. Love from San Diego.

          wishing you the best, Elsa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.

            best of luck, Elsa. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 33 people at work. All the best

              Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Nashik donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
