Since the death of my husband in December, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 March, 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 $600 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $170
• Childcare and after-school care: $165
• Groceries and school meals: $265
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. I hope March is when things finally get easier.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Çankaya.
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Any update on how things are going in Çankaya?
Rooting for you, Alp. This could happen to any of us
hope it all works out, Alp. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Leipzig!
You're not alone. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Take care. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Bogotá.
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Fresno so I could bring a meal
