Last July I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising three children under 10 on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 October, 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 $3,950 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,700
• Childcare and after-school care: $810
• Groceries and school meals: $570
• Course fees and exam costs: $870
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Sadie
Quick update: $1,071 raised so far (27%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Sadie
Update from Bowling Green: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 27% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 12% funded and I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals. - Sadie

Thinking of you, Sadie. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Kakamega donated after I showed her your page
hope it all works out. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless.
