Help Rowan get through 5 hard months with four children
Rowan and four children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇺🇸 United States3,028 views
Since my partner leaving in July, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 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 $3,650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,200
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,300
• Groceries and school meals: $810
• Course fees and exam costs: $340
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Dallas.
Thanks for sharing this, Rowan. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
Hope it all works out, Rowan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
shared this with my family. After 9 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Dallas!
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Dallas.
