Since a house fire in August, I'm now raising four children 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 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $4,650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,200
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,050
• Groceries and school meals: $1,050
• Course fees and exam costs: $350
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Stay strong, Pamela. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Piraeus but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Praying for you, Pamela. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Lagos
Thinking of you and your family, Pamela. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
