Help Olivier get through 3 hard months with twin daughters
A single mother in Metz needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Olivier retrains.

After the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $2,800 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $590
• Rent top-up: $1,800
• Childcare and after-school care: $410
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 20 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Metz!
Thinking of you, Olivier. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Olivier.
Groceries and school meals is $590 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
sending strength, Olivier. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
hang in there, Olivier. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Sent it to 31 people at work.
wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Brampton this morning. Love from Brampton.
