Mercy is a single parent of two young children - help us after my partner leaving
Mercy and two young children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

Since my partner leaving in May, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 August, 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:
• Groceries and school meals: $165
• Childcare and after-school care: $105
• Course fees and exam costs: $130
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Best of luck, Mercy. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
