Lisa is a single parent of a toddler and a seven-year-old - help us after my partner leaving
After my partner leaving, Lisa is raising a toddler and a seven-year-old alone and needs $3,900 to stay afloat for 6 months.

After my partner leaving in March, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old 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 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $3,900 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,650
• Childcare and after-school care: $890
• Groceries and school meals: $650
• Course fees and exam costs: $710
If you're reading this, thank you.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Lisa?
Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Macon donated after I showed her your page. Love from Macon.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Utrecht
