Help Maksym get through 4 hard months with three children under 6
Maksym and three children under 6 need a bridge to stability after a divorce.

Last June I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising three children under 6 on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Rent top-up: $340
• Childcare and after-school care: $260
• Groceries and school meals: $185
• Course fees and exam costs: $215
I hope life is good to you.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Hyderabad but we're thinking of you.
how is Maksym doing now?
Sending good thoughts. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. Love from Amsterdam!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Maksym
It's all in the list in the story. rent top-up is the big one at $340, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
you're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Keep going, Maksym. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Manila.
