Kinsley is a single parent of two young children - help us after a long illness
Kinsley and two young children need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇺🇸 San Diego, California, United States5,388 views
Since a long illness in March, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $5,000 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,850
• Childcare and after-school care: $910
• Groceries and school meals: $1,250
• Course fees and exam costs: $990
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Kinsley
Quick update: $1,670 raised so far (33%). the plan for childcare and after-school care is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Durham
Shared it with a few friends. After 16 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of San Diego.
Keep going, Kinsley. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Rooting for you, Kinsley. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Spokane.
Hang in there, Kinsley. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Mwanza donated after I showed her your page.
