Last July I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising three children under 7 on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $400 goes: โ€ข Course fees and exam costs: $85 โ€ข Groceries and school meals: $115 โ€ข Childcare and after-school care: $200 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Ho.

    • Mabel NtiOwnerAnswer

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about course fees and exam costs, advice is welcome too.

  • Hang in there, Mabel. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Derry this morning. Take care!

      • Mabel NtiOwnerAnswer

        I do, the lease is with the HelpBLESS team. Happy to answer anything else about it. Let me know if you want more detail.

    • Stay strong. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 20 people at work. Thinking of Ho.

            Best of luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
