Natnael is a single parent of a toddler and a seven-year-old - help us after a sudden redundancy
Natnael and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

Since a sudden redundancy in September, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 December, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $320
• Childcare and after-school care: $150
• Groceries and school meals: $60
• Course fees and exam costs: $70
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

You're not alone, Natnael. I hope things turn around soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Take care. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
thanks for sharing this, Natnael. Hope you get there. All the best.
stay strong, Natnael. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
