Help Thomas get through 6 hard months with three children under 5
Thomas and three children under 5 need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
🇬🇧 Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom549 views
Last January I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $3,650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,500
• Childcare and after-school care: $810
• Groceries and school meals: $840
• Course fees and exam costs: $500
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Sheffield but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Sheffield!
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Glasgow.
Thank you. If you're in Glasgow I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hope things get better soon, Thomas. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Depok
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Thomas. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. All the best!
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Glasgow!
sending love, Thomas. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Jakarta Barat.

Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Glasgow.
