After a divorce in July, I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 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 $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $170
• Childcare and after-school care: $155
• Groceries and school meals: $165
• Course fees and exam costs: $110
Glad we found this place.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Anisa?
Thank you. If you're in Surakarta I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
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. Blessings.
