Luke is a single parent of twin daughters - help us after a house fire
Luke and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

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.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for 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.
