Vivian is a single parent of three children under 7 - help us after my partner leaving
Vivian and three children under 7 need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom2,150 views
Last September I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising three children under 7 on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 December, 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 $3,600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,550
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,100
• Groceries and school meals: $520
• Course fees and exam costs: $430
Thanks for being kind about this.
