A single mother in Katowice needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Jan retrains.
🇵🇱 Silesia, Poland2,461 views
After a long illness in August, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 November, 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 $2,050 goes:
• Rent top-up: $900
• Childcare and after-school care: $480
• Groceries and school meals: $470
• Course fees and exam costs: $200
Glad we found this place.

So sorry you're going through this, Jan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hang in there, Jan. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Gujranwala this morning. Greetings from Gujranwala.
Sending good thoughts, Jan. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Nakuru
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update
Hope things get better soon, Jan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Katowice
Thanks for sharing this, Jan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
Rooting for you, Jan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Riverside donated after I showed her your page. Love from Riverside.
