Luca is a single parent of a teenage son and a daughter in primary school - help us after a house fire
Luca and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇦🇺 Australia2,250 views
Since a house fire in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $2,100 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $380
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,150
• Groceries and school meals: $570
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from São Paulo.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Belfast.
So sorry you're going through this, Luca. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
