Help Laura get through 3 hard months with four children

Laura and four children need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

Since a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $1,400 goes: • Rent top-up: $480 • Childcare and after-school care: $370 • Groceries and school meals: $370 • Course fees and exam costs: $180 I hope life is good to you.

    Keep going, Laura. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
