Sadie is a single parent of two young children - help us after my partner leaving
Sadie and two young children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇨🇦 Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada1,889 views
Since my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $3,850 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,450
• Childcare and after-school care: $640
• Groceries and school meals: $880
• Course fees and exam costs: $880
Thank you so much.

keep going, Sadie. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Varanasi.
Rooting for you, Sadie. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Vancouver.
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Wishing you peace, Sadie. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Blessings
thanks for sharing this, Sadie. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Vancouver.
wishing you peace, Sadie. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. All the best
