Help Seema get through 3 hard months with a toddler and a seven-year-old
Seema and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Last July I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $340
• Childcare and after-school care: $115
• Groceries and school meals: $105
• Course fees and exam costs: $90
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thanks for sharing this, Seema. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Seema
Sure. The biggest one is rent top-up, $340. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.
rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Blessings.
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
