After a divorce in July, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school 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 $3,300 goes: • Rent top-up: $760 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,150 • Groceries and school meals: $990 • Course fees and exam costs: $400 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Ludvig

  • sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best

        Thank you. If you're in Uppsala I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.

    • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 27 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

      • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ludvig

        • Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. Blessings!

          • So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.

            • Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Erie.

              • Best of luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Thinking of Uppsala

                • Thinking of you and your family, Ludvig. Shared it with a few friends. I hope October is when things finally get easier

                  • Best of luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings!
