Help Min get through 6 hard months with three children under 9
Min and three children under 9 need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States3,740 views
Since the death of my husband in November, I'm now raising three children under 9 on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 February, 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 $3,350 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,050
• Childcare and after-school care: $950
• Groceries and school meals: $870
• Course fees and exam costs: $480
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
