Help Julia get through 5 hard months with twin daughters
Julia and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇳🇿 New Zealand4,388 views
Last August I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 October, 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 $4,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,000
• Childcare and after-school care: $880
• Groceries and school meals: $870
• Course fees and exam costs: $450
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

We're at 51% thanks to 52 of you. I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs. More news soon.
Thank you all. We're at 19% now ($817). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

wishing you the best, Julia. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Mumbai.
good luck, Julia. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Reading but we're thinking of you. Love from Reading.
Praying for you, Julia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
