Help Regina get through 5 hard months with twin daughters

Regina and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a divorce.

Since a divorce in August, I'm now raising twin daughters 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 dental nurse 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 $900 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $145 • Childcare and after-school care: $470 • Rent top-up: $285 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

  • Good luck, Regina. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Hyderabad.

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Regina

      • Regina FonsecaOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. course fees and exam costs comes first ($145) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.

      Praying for you, Regina. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

      • Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Salvador

          Thank you. If you're in Salvador I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.

      • Sending love, Regina. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

        • So sorry you're going through this, Regina. Hope you get there. Thinking of Salvador.

          • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Columbus.

            • Sending good thoughts, Regina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together.

              • It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Ubud.

                • Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
