After a divorce, Isabel is raising two young children alone and needs $3,300 to stay afloat for 4 months.

Since a divorce in September, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by January, 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 $3,300 goes:
• Rent top-up: $860
• Childcare and after-school care: $880
• Groceries and school meals: $1,000
• Course fees and exam costs: $560
Thank you so much.

Hope things get better soon, Isabel. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Isabel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from San Antonio.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.

This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Dallas so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Shared this with my family. Love from Augsburg
