Help Princess get through 6 hard months with two young children
Princess and two young children need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
Anywhere in the world2,350 views
Last April I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 July, 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 $2,600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,200
• Course fees and exam costs: $770
• Childcare and after-school care: $630
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Princess?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rent top-up, advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Messina.
Wishing you the best, Princess. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
How is Princess doing now?
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Üsküdar donated after I showed her your page. Take care
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Princess
It's all in the list in the story. rent top-up is the big one at $1,200, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings
Wishing you peace, Princess. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Kakamega.
Stay strong, Princess. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Jakarta
Best of luck, Princess. Shared this with my family. Take care
good luck, Princess. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings
Rooting for you, Princess. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Put this on a community board in Sakai this morning. Greetings from Sakai.
