Leonardo is a single parent of two young children - help us after a sudden redundancy

Leonardo and two young children need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

After a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 October, 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 $3,350 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,100 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,000 • Groceries and school meals: $880 • Course fees and exam costs: $370 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Leonardo

    I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't give up. Thinking of Fresno.

      I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Lahore.
