Kostas and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a divorce.

After a divorce in May, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 July, 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 $1,700 goes: • Rent top-up: $620 • Childcare and after-school care: $350 • Groceries and school meals: $370 • Course fees and exam costs: $360 Thank you for reading my story. - Kostas

Updates from Kostas

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 7% funded and the plan for rent top-up is now scheduled.

  2. Update from Athens: I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

      Sending strength, Kostas. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.

      • Hope it all works out, Kostas. Gave what I could, wish it was more

        • Hope it all works out, Kostas. This could happen to any of us. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
