Thierry is a single parent of four children - help us after my partner leaving
Thierry and four children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
Anywhere in the world1,810 views
Last August I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising four children 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 dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $3,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,650
• Course fees and exam costs: $710
• Groceries and school meals: $840
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending strength. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
