Help Emilio get through 5 hard months with a toddler and a seven-year-old
Emilio and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

Last August I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $1,050 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $390
• Rent top-up: $450
• Groceries and school meals: $210
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

This could happen to any of us. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
