Jéssica is a single parent of a toddler and a seven-year-old - help us after a divorce
After a divorce, Jéssica is raising a toddler and a seven-year-old alone and needs $1,500 to stay afloat for 5 months.

Last August I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $550
• Childcare and after-school care: $430
• Groceries and school meals: $330
• Course fees and exam costs: $190
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Take care, Jéssica. Hope you get there. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Uberlândia!
Thank you. If you're in Uberlândia I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
So sorry you're going through this, Jéssica. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. Thinking of Uberlândia
Rooting for you, Jéssica. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Keep going, Jéssica. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt
so sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Love from Novosibirsk
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jéssica.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent top-up comes first ($550) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
Rooting for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Rooting for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Thinking of you and your family, Jéssica. Shared it with a few friends.
Wishing you the best, Jéssica. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Rooting for you, Jéssica. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 11 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
take care, Jéssica. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings
