Help Savannah get through 5 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school
Savannah and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
🇺🇸 United States3,415 views
Since a sudden redundancy in March, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 June, 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 $4,700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,550
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,050
• Groceries and school meals: $630
• Course fees and exam costs: $470
Thank you so much.
