Help Thu get through 6 hard months with twin daughters

Thu and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Last October I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $450 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $105 • Groceries and school meals: $180 • Course fees and exam costs: $165 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Thu

  • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Thu?

      Thank you. If you're in Hải Phòng I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.

  • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Sydney.

    • Hope things get better soon, Thu. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

      • Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.

        • a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My husband and I read this together

          • Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
