Help Leyla get through 5 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school
Leyla and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Last August I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 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 $1,050 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $250
• Childcare and after-school care: $350
• Rent top-up: $450
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Istanbul.
Stay strong. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Istanbul.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. Greetings from Recife!
Hang in there, Leyla. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Please keep us posted. God bless
Hang in there, Leyla. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
