Meir is a single parent of a teenage son and a daughter in primary school - help us after a divorce
Meir and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
🇮🇱 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel1,426 views
Last January I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by April, 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 $2,950 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $410
• Rent top-up: $1,500
• Groceries and school meals: $1,040
Glad we found this place.

sending strength, Meir. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Islamabad but we're thinking of you.

Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Chennai.

It's all in the list in the story. course fees and exam costs is the big one at $410, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.
