After a long illness in August, I'm now raising three children under 7 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $3,300 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,600 • Childcare and after-school care: $950 • Groceries and school meals: $420 • Course fees and exam costs: $330 Glad we found this place. - Océane

Updates from Océane

  1. Quick update: $541 raised so far (16%). I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. We're at 35% thanks to 38 of you. I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals. More news soon.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 7% funded and I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

    Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Montpellier

    • Océane NoelOwnerAnswer

      Thank you. If you're in Montpellier I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.

    hope it all works out, Océane. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
