Hugo is a single parent of a toddler and a seven-year-old - help us after a divorce
Hugo and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
🇫🇷 Hauts-de-France, France2,041 views
Since a divorce in March, 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 teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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:
• Childcare and after-school care: $800
• Course fees and exam costs: $680
• Rent top-up: $1,720
Thank you for reading my story.

Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Hyderabad
Wishing you the best. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Sending good thoughts, Hugo. Hope you get there.
