After my partner leaving in July, I'm now raising twin daughters 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 November, 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 $1,150 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $350
• Rent top-up: $610
• Course fees and exam costs: $190
Glad we found this place.

Praying for you, Lorena. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Keep going, Lorena. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Leicester.
wishing you peace. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My husband and I read this together.
thanks for sharing this, Lorena. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Malang.

Wishing you the best, Lorena. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Feira de Santana.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Toronto.

Hope this works out for you. After 13 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best.
Keep going. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Feira de Santana.
Sending strength, Lorena. This could happen to any of us. Take care
