Victoria is a single parent of four children - help us after a house fire
Victoria and four children need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇨🇦 Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada3,628 views
Last December I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising four children 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 February, 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 $4,650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,800
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,100
• Groceries and school meals: $1,100
• Course fees and exam costs: $650
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Coimbatore.
Wishing you peace, Victoria. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.
Keep going. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Sherbrooke.
