Miles is a single parent of three children under 5 - help us after a long illness
Miles and three children under 5 need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇺🇸 United States2,754 views
Last August I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 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 $3,450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $960
• Childcare and after-school care: $930
• Groceries and school meals: $910
• Course fees and exam costs: $650
With deep gratitude,
Miles

best of luck, Miles. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Latina.
shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from București.
Thinking of you, Miles. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
