Sylvie is a single parent of two young children - help us after a sudden redundancy
Sylvie and two young children need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France540 views
Since a sudden redundancy in April, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 August, 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 $2,450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,000
• Course fees and exam costs: $810
• Groceries and school meals: $640
Glad we found this place.
