Childcare Costs

A Mums Love, England



Like most Mums all I ever wanted to do was provide my chilldren with the best of everything and up until last year when disaster struck I thought that I could do that by working every hour god sent, dropping the kids of at nursery and school club at silly o clock in the morning and collecting them pretty much at bed time on a night! How wrong I was and how ashamed of myself I am to think that being a Mum was all about buying them anything and everything they ever wanted. After being involved in a horrible accident last year, my career has been taken away from me and I have realised that being a Mum..... a good Mum is about spending time with them, being there before and after school and in the holidays, making their tea, watching them squabble and fight about whos turn it is to watch a dvd or to go in the bath first...... they actually want and need their Mum! I always thought I was a good Mum but I was a rotten parent and although my accident has been horrendous and my life has been turned upside down the one good thing to come out of it is the realisation that my gorgeous kids need me, whatever state I may physically and emotionally be in.....they need, want and love their Mum......me! I cannot claim back the years that I have already missed out on but I sure as heck do not intend to let them down anymore. The irony of all of this is I actually borrowed money to pay for their childcare, was it worth it? No! And I now need help to pay it back as I have no income. I actually thought it was ok to never see or spend time with my kids..... a direct debit was effectively their Mum and I am disgusted with myself! I owe thousands to the bank for childcare debts, if I had my time again I would do things very differently I wish that I could turn back the clock but I cannot. I have made two promises the first one was to my two children in that I will never put anything before them ever again and the second was to myself to admit that I was a bad Mum and to pay back this debt as soon as possible so that I can close the door on that chapter of my life and look forward to the currently 'unknown' future. I know some of you will be disgusted with me for not realising how important my children were before my accident but all I will say is sometimes in life we all do things with good intentions without realising the damage we are actually causing. Others may be able to understand why I did what I did. Whatever your opinion is of me I honestly thought that I was doing right by my children, please if you can, help me to put right my wrongs. Thank you x

Strapped for cash

Can't make rent, Northern Europe



Hello everyone. Thank you for reading this. I am currently unemployed since 6 months. I have been denied all sorts of unemployment benefits and even socal welfare. My wife has just lost her job due to a severe depression and it's unlikely she'll ever work again. Until now, we've been living of personal savings. But they're gone now. We've managed to pay all the serious stuff this month, except for rent. We live in a small place in the middle of nowhere (we rent a house) which is in dire need of repairs. But we love it. Also it's impossible to find cheaper accomodation in this part of the country. We need to raise 1000 dollars to make rent this month. I don't expect to make all of that money here, but every cent helps. If you could find it in your heart to give us a dollar or two you will have my undying gratitude. I really want my wife to be able to keep living where we live now. Everything in her life is a complete mess besides this place. I love her so much. Please, help us. God bless you for reading this.

Lucas, Kenya



Hi everyone, my name is Lucas. Having been raised in a poor family, I didn't make it far in education, I have tried from sales marketing, borrowing money opening small business but nothing seems to work for me. Right now I have a huge debt that I don't know when I'll pay it. I'm requesting any good Samaritan to please donate any amount, I believe I'll wipe the dust and match on. as I'm typing this, I have some pain in my abdomen that's really worrying me a lot, I have gone to the hospital four (4) times this year alone, treated with antibiotics but still feel the pain, I'd like to go for a thorough diagnosis but I cant afford the charges. and if worst happens, God forbid, I'm not ready to carter for the bills, please help me. Any contribution will be highly appreciated, thank you in advance and God bless you.
