Help Opio get through 5 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school
Opio and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
Anywhere in the world659 views
After a divorce in March, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school 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 bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $165
• Course fees and exam costs: $60
• Childcare and after-school care: $275
With deep gratitude,
Opio

is there anything that isn't money that would help Opio?
Thank you. If you're in Mombasa I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
you're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Moscow donated after I showed her your page.
sending love. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Yekaterinburg.
Wishing you the best, Opio. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Kazan.
Hope things get better soon, Opio. This could happen to any of us. God bless
Hope things get better soon, Opio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
