Help Sarah get through 3 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school
Sarah and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

After a long illness in July, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school 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 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.
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: $165
• Childcare and after-school care: $195
• Groceries and school meals: $155
• Course fees and exam costs: $35
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Los Angeles.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 30 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
