Since a divorce in May, I'm now raising two young 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 pharmacy technician 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $3,950 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,250 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,550 • Groceries and school meals: $740 • Course fees and exam costs: $410 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

            Thank you. If you're in Montréal I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.

            is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Guo.

            • Guo Wei GuoOwnerAnswer

              It's all in the list in the story. rent top-up is the big one at $1,250, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.

          • Sending love. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Dammam so I could bring a meal. Love from Casablanca.

            • A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from San Diego.

              • Take care. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Montréal.

                • Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Savannah

                  • So sorry you're going through this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
