Help Margaux get through 3 hard months with a toddler and a seven-year-old
Margaux and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
Anywhere in the world3,374 views
Since my partner leaving in January, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old 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 April, 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $2,900 goes:
• Rent top-up: $760
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,150
• Groceries and school meals: $460
• Course fees and exam costs: $530
If you're reading this, thank you.

You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Saint-Denis.
hang in there, Margaux. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Johannesburg.
How is Margaux doing now?
sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Margaux
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent top-up is the biggest at $760. Thanks for asking.
Shared this with my family. Thinking of Saint-Denis.
Wishing you peace, Margaux. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Saint-Denis.
Hope things get better soon, Margaux. Gave what I could, wish it was more
