Poitiers

After a long illness in March, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $2,900 goes: • Rent top-up: $720 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,050 • Groceries and school meals: $710 • Course fees and exam costs: $420 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Mariam

Quick update: $30 raised so far (1%). I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
