Willow is a single parent of two young children - help us after a divorce
Willow and two young children need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
🇨🇦 Toronto, Ontario, Canada2,164 views
After a divorce in September, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $3,750 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,250
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,350
• Groceries and school meals: $660
• Course fees and exam costs: $490
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Cairo but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Cairo.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending strength, Willow. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings!
Sending good thoughts, Willow. This could happen to any of us. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too
hope things get better soon, Willow. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
thanks for sharing this, Willow. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
