Last August I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising three children under 12 on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $500 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $70
• Groceries and school meals: $120
• Rent top-up: $310
Thanks for being kind about this.
Updates from Ahmad
Update from Jakarta: I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals. We're at 51% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
45% there. the plan for rent top-up is now scheduled. Thank you.
Thank you all. We're at 46% now ($228). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
