Last August I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 November, 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 $2,050 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $540 • Childcare and after-school care: $920 • Course fees and exam costs: $590 I hope life is good to you. - Henry

Updates from Henry

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($806 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 14% funded and I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 19% funded and I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs.

    I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless

      You're not alone, Henry. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
