Since a sudden redundancy in October, I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by January, 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 $2,400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $870
• Childcare and after-school care: $540
• Groceries and school meals: $440
• Course fees and exam costs: $550
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Best of luck, Andrés. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best!
Rooting for you, Andrés. 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, Andrés. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Ubud donated after I showed her your page.
Hang in there, Andrés. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Kikuyu
Praying for you, Andrés. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out
