Help Genesis get through 4 hard months with four children
Genesis and four children need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

Last August I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 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 $3,150 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $750
• Rent top-up: $1,750
• Groceries and school meals: $650
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care, Genesis. Hope you get there. Take care.
Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless!
Thanks for sharing this, Genesis. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Bursa.
So sorry you're going through this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Santos.
praying for you, Genesis. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Love from Cape Town
