After a house fire in June, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $2,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,050
• Childcare and after-school care: $670
• Groceries and school meals: $480
Every share and every dollar helps.

You're not alone. Hope you get there. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Keep going. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Rohini.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Francesco
hope things get better soon, Francesco. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Rome.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Hang in there, Francesco. Shared it with a few friends
