Last April I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 June, 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 $1,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $400
• Childcare and after-school care: $330
• Groceries and school meals: $195
• Course fees and exam costs: $175
Thanks for reading all this.

How is Ahmet doing now?
Thanks for sharing this, Ahmet. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Brisbane
This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Üsküdar.
