Help John get through 6 hard months with twin daughters
John and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
🇺🇸 United States2,943 views
After a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $3,800 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,750
• Childcare and after-school care: $990
• Groceries and school meals: $630
• Course fees and exam costs: $430
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you, John. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless
Thinking of you and your family, John. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
