Valentina is a single parent of a teenage son and a daughter in primary school - help us after my partner leaving
Valentina and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

Last July I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder 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 $1,700 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $370
• Rent top-up: $890
• Childcare and after-school care: $440
With deep gratitude,
Valentina

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care!
Wishing you peace, Valentina. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
praying for you, Valentina. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Kasarani.
