Samuel and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

After my partner leaving in February, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $550 goes: • Rent top-up: $190 • Childcare and after-school care: $135 • Groceries and school meals: $135 • Course fees and exam costs: $90 Thanks for reading all this.

      This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Breda.

                                • So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
