Help Gregory get through 3 hard months with twin daughters

Gregory and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Since the death of my husband in May, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 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 $4,700 goes: • Rent top-up: $2,200 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,300 • Groceries and school meals: $590 • Course fees and exam costs: $610 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Gregory

Updates from Gregory

  1. We're at 9% thanks to 12 of you. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($318 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
