After a long illness in March, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $3,850 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,600
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,450
• Course fees and exam costs: $800
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Kinondoni this morning. Love from Kinondoni.
Best of luck, Asher. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Lucknow
Hang in there, Asher. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Freiburg this morning. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Asher. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Los Angeles
sending strength, Asher. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings
Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Good luck, Asher. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Wiesbaden
sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
