Help Quinn get through 6 hard months with three children under 8
Quinn and three children under 8 need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇺🇸 Miami, Florida, United States2,122 views
Last January I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising three children under 8 on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $2,950 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,050
• Groceries and school meals: $800
• Rent top-up: $1,100
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Miami.
Thinking of you, Quinn. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!
