Help Violet get through 3 hard months with a toddler and a seven-year-old
Violet and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
🇺🇸 United States657 views
After a divorce in July, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 October, 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 $3,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,300
• Childcare and after-school care: $770
• Groceries and school meals: $670
• Course fees and exam costs: $460
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

So sorry you're going through this, Violet. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
Best of luck, Violet. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Violet.
Rent top-up is $1,300 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.

rooting for you, Violet. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

You're not alone, Violet. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Nagpur.
Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. After 17 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
