Since a house fire in July, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,700
• Childcare and after-school care: $740
• Groceries and school meals: $550
• Course fees and exam costs: $310
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Yann?
Hope it all works out, Yann. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Praying for you, Yann. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Peoria.
wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
Sending strength, Yann. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
sending good thoughts, Yann. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
What exactly is the $3,300 for?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent top-up comes first ($1,700) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Hang in there, Yann. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Wishing you the best. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Red Deer
Hang in there, Yann. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Red Deer.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Red Deer.
Sending good thoughts, Yann. Shared it with a few friends. After 7 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
