After a sudden redundancy in July, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $430
• Course fees and exam costs: $220
• Rent top-up: $1,150
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope it all works out, Yael. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Abbottabad
How is Yael doing now?
So sorry you're going through this, Yael. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Sending strength, Yael. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Jerusalem.
