Help Sebastian get through 3 hard months with a toddler and a seven-year-old

Sebastian and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

Since my partner leaving in May, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $2,350 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $1,200 • Groceries and school meals: $820 • Course fees and exam costs: $330 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Sebastian

    Thanks for sharing this, Sebastian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Chattogram.

    • Samir Fadi Said

      sending strength, Sebastian. This could happen to any of us. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Take care.

      • Camila H. Montes

        Sending strength. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.

        • Femi Godwin Okoro

          Hope it all works out, Sebastian. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.

          • Toàn An Quach

            Good luck. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

            • Majid Fadi Khalil

              Hope it all works out, Sebastian. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Córdoba this morning.
