Help Isabelle get through 6 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school

After the death of my husband, Isabelle is raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school alone and needs $4,500 to stay afloat for 6 months.

Last April I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $4,500 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,500 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,150 • Groceries and school meals: $1,050 • Course fees and exam costs: $800 With deep gratitude, Isabelle

      Keep going, Isabelle. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.

        Best of luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Puebla.

          Good luck, Isabelle. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Mukono.

            hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
