Last December I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old 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 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 $800 goes:
• Rent top-up: $470
• Course fees and exam costs: $115
• Groceries and school meals: $215
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you and your family, Anna. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Sending love, Anna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Anna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Perth
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Kyiv.
Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Limoges.
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Glasgow.
You're not alone, Anna. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Best of luck, Anna. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
Rooting for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope March is when things finally get easier. God bless
Sending love, Anna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Love from Tel Aviv.
