After my partner leaving in April, 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 an electrician 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $450 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $150
• Rent top-up: $190
• Course fees and exam costs: $110
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thanks for sharing this, Lyudmila. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Zaporizhzhia.
Thank you. If you're in Zaporizhzhia I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
keep going. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
