After a long illness in August, I'm now raising three children under 9 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $3,900 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,250
• Childcare and after-school care: $750
• Groceries and school meals: $900
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you and your family, Julia. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Grenoble.
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Ribeirão Preto donated after I showed her your page.
Thanks for sharing this, Julia. Shared this with my family. All the best.
so sorry you're going through this, Julia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
