After a divorce in January, 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 May, 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 $700 goes: • Rent top-up: $260 • Childcare and after-school care: $160 • Groceries and school meals: $170 • Course fees and exam costs: $110 With deep gratitude, Anwar

  • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Anwar.

    • keep going, Anwar. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Comilla this morning!

        Rooting for you, Anwar. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.

        • A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 25 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

          • looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Mbarara

            • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless

              • Praying for you, Anwar. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Brampton!

                • Thinking of you, Anwar. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope May is when things finally get easier. All the best.

                  • this could happen to any of us. Greetings from Barcelona.
