Shanice is a single parent of twin daughters - help us after a long illness
Shanice and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇿🇦 Gauteng, South Africa1,561 views
Since a long illness in July, I'm now raising twin daughters 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 $750 goes:
• Rent top-up: $270
• Childcare and after-school care: $220
• Groceries and school meals: $135
• Course fees and exam costs: $125
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Birmingham.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Abbottabad.
so sorry you're going through this. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Gondar
Hope it all works out, Shanice. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 39 people at work. God bless.
Hope it all works out. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Soweto
Sending love, Shanice. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. All the best.
Good luck, Shanice. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
