Help Kiara get through 5 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school
A single parent in Huntsville needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Kiara retrains.
🇺🇸 Alabama, United States834 views
After my partner leaving in May, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 August, 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 $3,250 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $1,250
• Course fees and exam costs: $880
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,120
Glad we found this place.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Rajshahi.
Good luck, Kiara. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
Good luck, Kiara. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted.
