My name is Natalie and I never imagined I’d be here asking for help to keep my daughters in school. After a long period of financial and emotional abuse, their father has now denied them the school fees he had been providing, leaving me unable to meet the balance, despite paying everything I can.

My eldest is autistic, anorexic and struggling. She’s in her second year of A-levels, and finishing school is not just about academics, it is about her stability, her mental health, and her safety. Any disruption now could cause lasting harm. My youngest has found her feet and is now thriving at school. Losing her place in the system would take away the environment where she is finally flourishing.

I am doing everything I can, I’ve already lost my home and primary source of income since this breakdown, and I am actively trying to rebuild and find work. But right now, what I cannot replace quickly enough is time. Their school fees are due immenently, and without immediate help, both of my girls’ futures are at risk.

Your support will go directly to covering their education and tuition, ensuring my eldest can complete her A-levels without harm and my youngest can continue to grow in a place where she feels safe and inspired. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps protect their stability and their future. I would be delighted to share their progress with anyone who joins me on this journey.

If you can give, thank you. If you can share, thank you. From a mother fighting to hold it all together, your help means everything.
