A single parent in Winston-Salem needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Naomi retrains.

After a sudden redundancy in January, 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 bookkeeper 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,400
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,150
• Groceries and school meals: $480
• Course fees and exam costs: $520
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up.
Shared this with my family. Sent it to 40 people at work. Thinking of Winston-Salem.
Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 31 people at work. Love from São Paulo.
Keep going, Naomi. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless
