Help Josiane get through 5 hard months with two young children

Josiane and two young children need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

Since a long illness in August, 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 web developer 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 $2,600 goes: • Rent top-up: $800 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,000 • Groceries and school meals: $510 • Course fees and exam costs: $290 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Poitiers.

    • Bruna Viviane Fernandes

      you're not alone, Josiane. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings

        This could happen to any of us. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
