A single mother in Duluth needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Micah retrains.

After a divorce in May, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $3,500 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $490
• Rent top-up: $2,300
• Course fees and exam costs: $710
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Best of luck, Micah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Duluth
hang in there, Micah. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 12 years in logistics I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless.
Your post was clear and honest. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Love from Auckland
