Josefa is a single parent of a teenage son and a daughter in primary school - help us after a divorce
Josefa and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
🇺🇸 Brooklyn, New York, United States3,931 views
Since a divorce in March, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, 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 May, 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: $830
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,100
• Groceries and school meals: $530
• Course fees and exam costs: $840
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in London donated after I showed her your page. God bless
thinking of you and your family, Josefa. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings
Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Madrid donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Brooklyn.
Keep going, Josefa. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Brooklyn
Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Ankara.
