Help Isaac get through 3 hard months with twin daughters

Wudil
Since a sudden redundancy in December, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 March, 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 $400 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $130 • Rent top-up: $155 • Course fees and exam costs: $115 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Isaac

    Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in San Fernando donated after I showed her your page.

            Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Wudil.

                Stay strong, Isaac. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.

                  Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
