After a house fire in August, I'm now raising twin daughters 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $3,050 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,150 • Childcare and after-school care: $590 • Groceries and school meals: $610 • Course fees and exam costs: $700 Thank you so much. - Luke

      take care. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.

      • Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Envigado donated after I showed her your page. Love from Envigado.

        • reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Liverpool.

          • Take care. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Gazipur.

            • Thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Liverpool

              • keep going, Luke. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
