After my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising three children under 7 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder 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 $2,600 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,350
• Groceries and school meals: $840
• Course fees and exam costs: $410
Thank you for reading my story.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Piper?
Best of luck, Piper. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. It's not much but it's yours.
Rooting for you, Piper. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Love from Pune
Hope it all works out, Piper. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Hang in there, Piper. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Yonkers!
Rooting for you, Piper. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Piper. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Lagos.
Thinking of you, Piper. Your post was clear and honest. After 8 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Yonkers.
Thanks for sharing this, Piper. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better!
