After a house fire in July, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 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 $700 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $165
• Groceries and school meals: $320
• Childcare and after-school care: $215

You're not alone, Sergei. This could happen to any of us. Love from Strasbourg.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Saint Petersburg.
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Mysuru donated after I showed her your page. All the best!
stay strong. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Take care, Sergei. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
