Leonid is a single parent of twin daughters - help us after my partner leaving

A single father in Kyiv needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Leonid retrains.

Kyiv
After my partner leaving in February, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a driver, 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 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 $650 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $190 • Rent top-up: $220 • Groceries and school meals: $240 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
