After my partner leaving in May, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, 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 August, 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:
• Rent top-up: $165
• Childcare and after-school care: $150
• Groceries and school meals: $135
• Course fees and exam costs: $50
Thanks for being kind about this.
Updates from Ani
Update from Jakarta Selatan: I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. We're at 21% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ani.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent top-up is the biggest at $165. Thanks for asking.
So sorry you're going through this, Ani. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Praying for you, Ani. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Uberlândia
