Los Angeles
Since the death of my husband in July, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $4,200 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,050 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,700 • Groceries and school meals: $1,050 • Course fees and exam costs: $400 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Roman

    I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Milan so I could bring a meal. Take care

          good luck, Roman. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Los Angeles
