After a sudden redundancy in February, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $2,100 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $630
• Rent top-up: $990
• Childcare and after-school care: $480
Thank you so much.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Giovanni?
Thank you. If you're in Venice I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
wishing you peace, Giovanni. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Keep going, Giovanni. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Rooting for you, Giovanni. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
keep going, Giovanni. Looking forward to the next update. Take care
good luck, Giovanni. This could happen to any of us
thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours.
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. After 7 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Rooting for you, Giovanni. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Thane so I could bring a meal. Take care.
