After a house fire in June, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 September, 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:
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,250
• Course fees and exam costs: $710
• Groceries and school meals: $440
Thank you so much.

Hope things get better soon. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Ariana. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Malang so I could bring a meal
