Teresita and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

After the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $650 goes: • Rent top-up: $440 • Childcare and after-school care: $105 • Course fees and exam costs: $105 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Naivasha

      Rooting for you, Teresita. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal. Take care.

        Thinking of you, Teresita. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Narayanganj donated after I showed her your page

            I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Thane.
