Last June I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a medical coder 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $1,000 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $290 • Rent top-up: $540 • Course fees and exam costs: $170 If you're reading this, thank you.

    Truly grateful for the support

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

  • Rooting for you, Alejandra. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Athens.

    • Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
