Help Sophia get through 4 hard months with four children
Sophia and four children need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇺🇸 United States554 views
Last June I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician 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 $5,050 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,950
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,450
• Groceries and school meals: $1,250
• Course fees and exam costs: $400
I hope life is good to you.

hope this works out for you. After 7 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Springfield.
Wishing you peace, Sophia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Liverpool.
