Help Patricia get through 6 hard months with twin daughters
Patricia and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
Anywhere in the world1,390 views
Last August I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $900 goes:
• Rent top-up: $310
• Childcare and after-school care: $130
• Groceries and school meals: $280
• Course fees and exam costs: $180
Thank you so much.
