Matthew and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a divorce.

Last June I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a driver, 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 September, 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 $4,300 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,000
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,000
• Groceries and school meals: $740
• Course fees and exam costs: $560
I hope life is good to you.

thanks for sharing this. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't give up.
this could happen to any of us. Thinking of San Jose
hope it all works out, Matthew. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Keep going, Matthew. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
