Help John get through 3 hard months with two young children
John and two young children need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇺🇸 Atlanta, Georgia, United States3,594 views
Since a long illness in April, 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 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 $5,500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,200
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,500
• Groceries and school meals: $1,300
• Course fees and exam costs: $500
Thank you so much.

Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 26 people at work. Love from Joliet.
Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted. Love from Johannesburg.
you're not alone, John. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
Praying for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless!
Wishing you peace, John. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Warangal so I could bring a meal. God bless!
wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. After 20 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope things get better soon, John. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Atlanta.
