Last August I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 November, 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 $3,400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,350
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,050
• Groceries and school meals: $750
• Course fees and exam costs: $250
Thank you for reading my story.

Keep going. Hope you get there. Thinking of Belfast
Stay strong, Michelle. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Surat
Wishing you the best, Michelle. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
sending good thoughts. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Please keep us posted
So sorry you're going through this, Michelle. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care
Praying for you, Michelle. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Arlington so I could bring a meal.
Sending love, Michelle. This could happen to any of us. God bless
