Last April I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $3,000 goes: • Rent top-up: $940 • Childcare and after-school care: $870 • Groceries and school meals: $680 • Course fees and exam costs: $510 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Océane

Update from Paris: I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals. We're at 19% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
