Help Viola get through 4 hard months with four children
After a divorce, Viola is raising four children alone and needs $2,900 to stay afloat for 4 months.

Last May I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising four children 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 pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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: $700
• Groceries and school meals: $460
• Course fees and exam costs: $390
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Viola.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent top-up comes first ($1,350) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
Sending love, Viola. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Viola. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Narayanganj this morning. Greetings from Narayanganj.
Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt.
Sending strength, Viola. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. God bless.
