Yvonne and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

After my partner leaving in July, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $3,700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,400
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,100
• Groceries and school meals: $860
• Course fees and exam costs: $340
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Chicago.
How is Yvonne doing now?
Hope it all works out, Yvonne. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Malang.
You're not alone, Yvonne. Looking forward to the next update!
Thinking of you, Yvonne. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Rawalpindi this morning. All the best
praying for you, Yvonne. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yvonne.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent top-up is the biggest at $1,400. Let me know if you want more detail.
Thinking of you and your family, Yvonne. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Ankara.
Sending good thoughts, Yvonne. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Thinking of you, Yvonne. Looking forward to the next update.
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Eindhoven.
Thanks for sharing this, Yvonne. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
