A single father in Fresno needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Maya retrains.

After a long illness in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 December, 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 $2,700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,100
• Childcare and after-school care: $640
• Groceries and school meals: $660
• Course fees and exam costs: $300
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

thinking of you and your family, Maya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Sending good thoughts, Maya. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Toulon this morning. Greetings from Toulon.
