A single father in Montréal needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Theodore retrains.

Since a long illness in June, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $2,900 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,350
• Childcare and after-school care: $610
• Groceries and school meals: $530
• Course fees and exam costs: $410
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope you get there. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Kassel so I could bring a meal
Take care, Theodore. Looking forward to the next update
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from St. Louis.
good luck, Theodore. It takes guts to ask. Well done
