Laura is a single parent of a teenage son and a daughter in primary school - help us after the death of my husband
Laura and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Since the death of my husband in March, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 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 $3,600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,550
• Childcare and after-school care: $830
• Groceries and school meals: $760
• Course fees and exam costs: $460
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this, Laura. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Take care
Wishing you the best, Laura. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Alcalá de Henares.
Stay strong, Laura. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
Keep going, Laura. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
