A single parent in Oakland needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Miles retrains.

Last July I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising three children under 6 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 web developer 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $3,650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,550
• Course fees and exam costs: $860
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,240
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
