Help Maria get through 5 hard months with four children
Maria and four children need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.
🇺🇸 United States1,820 views
Last October I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 January, 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 $2,400 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $740
• Course fees and exam costs: $670
• Rent top-up: $990
With deep gratitude,
Maria

stay strong, Maria. Shared it with a few friends. After 17 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Maria. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
