After my partner leaving, Regina is raising a toddler and a seven-year-old alone and needs $1,000 to stay afloat for 6 months.

Since my partner leaving in July, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Rent top-up: $600
• Groceries and school meals: $300
• Course fees and exam costs: $100
Thanks for reading all this.

You're not alone, Regina. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
Shared it with a few friends. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Eldoret.
Thanks for sharing this, Regina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 10 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Praying for you, Regina. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. All the best
Sending strength, Regina. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Regina. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of São Paulo.
Take care, Regina. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
